The only way to have a file/record lock removed is to have the process that 
owns the lock remove it.  This can be done by (1) explicitly unlocking the 
file, (2), closing the file, which removes all locks, or (3) exiting (or 
being killed) which closes all open files, which in turn unlocks them.

Use showlock to see which process has it locked, and if it's "happening more 
often", figure out what that person is/was/doing.
