LOOKUP to self segV's on 64 bit server.

[John Esak]

Jerry,
I'm going to just assume that you are doing this lookup from an @entsel
processing stub??  Otherwise, it is quite obvious that you are creating a
deadlock situation. In other words looking up to the record you are locking
yourself is _never_ going to happen. Regardless, it probably shouldn't
segv... but assuming you are not in @entsel, it should just sit and wait...
forever...

So, I'm guessing you left some info out, or this type of lookup has _nver_
worked anywhere before... one or the other or both.
