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

[Fairlight]

John, 

You know how we've had lockfile issues over the years and the solution ends
up being "remove the lockfile and try again" and then it acts correctly?
Is there any chance the qualifier lockfiles got mangled the same way, and
this would work if you removed the qualifier lockfiles and let them
refresh?

Just a thought...
