Right.  I don't use standalone mode much, so sorry about that.  I
looked for a comment from Ian C but didn't find one.

No, pinging now is good.

This patch leads me to an observation: I looked at the code in
standalone-reset and it appears to me that there is not currently
anything which sets "$flight".

So the "DELETE" statements used if there's an existing db won't have
any effect.  This doesn't cause any strange effects because
Osstest/JobDB/Standalone.pm deletes them too.

I think it would be best to delete that part of standalone-reset.  Do
you agree ?

In the meantime I have added your patch to my queue branch.

Ian.
