I don't think the file is actually locked - it seems to be that XSI
creates a file to tell if it's locked and then doesn't realised it's
XSI that created it.

Every other application is running really nicely - purely an XSI problem here.

Cheers,

Alan.

Never done XS on NFS, but I do know that NFS has a lot of trouble with
file locking (esp flock()). This always seems worse with Solaris.
