Bug Description
If zim is already started, sometimes an attempt to revisit it (via the taskbar) will cause it to hang instead of reshowing the last viewed page, etc. (This only happens sometimes; most of the time, zim works as expected.)
It seems the only recovery is to force-quit zim, then re-start. The re-start takes much longer than usual.

My guess: I have some backup scripts that run periodically (via crontab). (I wrote them because the version control plugin didn't work correctly, for me at least). Perhaps there's a locking problem if certain zim actions occur while a backup is running. Will try to gather evidence.
A side note: while older zim versions didn't hang, the git repository got corrupted. Ultimately had to re-create it by cloning from my 'backup'. Perhaps the corruption problem was due to a sync. problem between zim and git.
