Ken,

I find that when upgrading a client to 5.6, the first time clerk returns to
the menu/command line.  On retrying the option, the program loads.

Now, if you consider having to run an option twice, then there is no issue.
I do find this a bit awkward, if I miss clearing all of the lockfiles, and
this happens, my clients call me and say they can't get into this program.

So, as far as I can tell, if one doesn't mind having to run an option twice,
then there is "no issue".
