Probably not exactly that, since the problem preceeded the crash (started 
several weeks ago). Maybe something else crashed on this happy network of ours. 
Go figure. For example, bk itself is quite fond of lock files. Press Ctrl-C 
right after `bk push`, and noone else will be able to interact with your parent 
repository, since the write lock file is there to stay until someone sshs to the 
host and bk unlocks it (which AFAIK works independently of whether the locking 
process is still around or not).

Lock files. An industry Best Practice (tm).

Not only do they apparently get locked - they also appear to get locked for no 
particular purpose except for the fun of locking by itself, since the damned 
program works after reporting it's inability to enjoy the locking of a file.
