Overpass API developpement

Hi,

sorry. I've overlooked this question.

Killing the osm3s_query should have no side effects. It is the job of 
the transactionality on areas to protect queries from all harm.

You should afterwards delete the areas_shadow.lock file from the 
database directory. This is a protective measure to avoid that after a 
crash the osm3s_query restarts.

That said, it would make more sense to have a proper shutdown procedure. 
Could you please open a github issue?

In addition: could you give details on what the undesirable side effects 
are? This could help to uncover an otherwise not yet known bug.

Cheers,

Roland
