running w/covem w/default options crashes unless sqllite database is already present

[pracplayopen]

EXPECTED

covtool/covem Usage Instructions say that it will read config at PROGRAM.covcfg if not provided.

ACTUAL

this seems to work as long as a covdb is present.

However, if it's first time running (or the covdb has been deleted), it gives error that it can't open sqllite database:

This is unexpected as the sqllite database is what we want to create.

WORK-AROUND:

Use baboon_cfg environment variable to point at same file the defaults expect, eg

BABOON_CFG="PROGRAM.exe.covcfg" mono --debug covem.exe PROGRAM.exe myarg1 myarg2

This is probably easy to fix, but wanted to log the issue.
