Error description

• Compact -Replica lose document data if user modify the document
  during compaction.
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  
  1. Prepare discussion database
  2. add about 10 documents with attachment (attachment size is
  about 1MB - 4MB). In my test. doc # is 10 and db size is 53MB.
  3. Keep the database open by Notes client and perform "load
  compact -replica xxx.nsf".
  4. If you see the following console output, Update any
  document's title right away.
  >drop xxx.nsf
  5. Compact -replica fails with the following error.
  > Error compacting disc.nsf,  -replica disc.nsf: Database is
  currently in use by you or another user
  
  6. Add a document and add any attachment.
  7. Close the database.
  
  Repl file is remains. nsf file is bigger than repl file because
  I add a document with a big attachment.
  
  
  8 Open the database again by Notes client.
  in domino server, it will start compact -replica -restart will
  perform automatically. However it will fail with the following
  error.
  
  >Compact -REPLICA sync failure, Src DB:
  C:\Lotus\Domino\data\disc.ORIG, Dst DB:

  9.Close the database.
  
  Orig file is remains.  nsf file size become small.
  
  
  10 Open the database again by Notes client.
  in domino sevrer, it will start compact -replica -restart will
  perform automatically. At this time, compact perform
  completely..
  
  Orig file is deleted. nsf file size is still small.
