it's in the middle of the overnight stuff

scanning a table, firing off a special process sometimes, and for years 
it's worked flawlessly hundreds of times a night.. that special process 
gets called by user changes hundreds of times a day, too

it is momentarily putting a full lock on one of many "template" tables, 
to copy it to the user's priv.. now, in the overnight stuff, for some 
reason, the lock file gets written, then freezes, with that error message

testing shows that it would stop everyone dead in their tracks, til the 
lock file goes away.. fortunately 1) nobody else is online in the middle 
of the night, and 2) when the overnight stuff is finished, regardless of 
the success or failure of the individual processes, it exits from 
paradox and that stupid lock file gets deleted
