Running showlock returned the following:

/appl/filepro/fadlvsum/screen.D:
   3b9aca00 00000001 27045

Checking processes with ps returned the following:

25330 scobey   S pts/74   00:00:00 /appl/fp/dscreen
27045 scobey   S pts/77   00:00:00 /appl/fp/dscreen

("scobey" is my user name)

Killing those processes cleared the "lock" on screen D.  So it wasn't a 
lockfile, it was the phantom dscreen process.
