      [PERL-387] has example code that replicates the problem.

      In short: have several threads/processes repeatedly and rapidly create a database, add a document to a collection, and then drop the database. In another thread/process, call "listDatabases" once a second until the error occurs.

      If many databases are rapidly created and deleted, the listDatabases command can fail with error 15927 ("can't open database in a read lock..."), which apparently is from database_holder.cpp.

      I think listDatabases needs to catch that error and either retry or just omit the offending database in the list it returns. Otherwise, a transient error from a single database prevents the rest of the valid results from being returned.
