Possible bug: locfile is locked for qualifiers when only main file is locked by user

[John Esak]

Right, but I *am* experiencing a lockfile error and there is no one in the
file I'm trying to do something to...  I seem to remember something about
local and global locking bits in the main lockfile...  Ah hell, I'll just go
look at the layout on the web page somewhere. I didn't want to have to byte
this bullet. Was hoping someone would just say... oh yeah, you can't do that
for thus and such reason... :-)   No luck I guess. I'm just too busy for
this sort of hangup right now. A diversion that will not save me much time
when writing a workaround would...  Anyway, thanks Barry.
