SQLite crash/corruption when database is on a remote filesystem

I've just updated to 1.20.1 / 0.15.0 and foolishly deleted the previously working versions whose numbers I do not recall (late December updates). The auto update of the cpptools extension failed to be able to download its bits and so I installed it from the (self-contained) VSIX file. Unfortunately, the extension seems possessed to make a JSON RPC call which fails. The result being no Intellisense information and no compilation capability.

OS: Windows 7
cpptools 0.15.0
Version 1.20.1

Il titolo descrive una corruzione di SQLite su un file system remoto, ma il corpo segnala un errore di connessione JSON-RPC di VS Code cpptools e nomina solo i percorsi node_modules generati per vscode-jsonrpc e vscode-languageclient. Per prima cosa occorre chiarire quale errore venga segnalato, quindi riprodurre il problema con le versioni indicate di Windows, VS Code e cpptools; per completare il lavoro sarebbero necessari una causa confermata e un test di regressione oppure una correzione documentata.
