[APBeta] Moving the Observation database to another machine

What is the proper procedure to move the observation database from one
machine to another? For example, from the backup of a broken laptop running
b43 to my desktop running b45. I tried just copying the file, but that was a
disaster. There seems to be a problem with the code that re-links
observations to plans.  Even if you just say the plans are no longer
available, it gets into a loop asking for them, and eventually crashes. No
error log file is created. (I think rather than crashing, the OS is killing
it off.) This has happened on Win7 build 7100 (64-bit) and Vista Home
Premium (32-bit.) I haven't tried it on WinXP yet.
