I'm testing my Emacs DVC front end, implementing sync. So I ran the
automate_netsync lua test to create a couple databases that need
syncing, then ran the front end. The front end maintains a persistent
automate stdio session, with one of the databases. When I fixed a bug in
the front end, I needed to recreate the databases, so there would be
something to sync, so I ran the Lua test again.

I figured out I need to kill the automate stdio session in the front end
first.
