Frame File "Locked by ( )" Phantoms

["Barry Meislin" <Barry.Meislin@xxxxxxx>]

Using FM 6.0 in a Unix environment, in which Frame is licenced for about
18 users, the following exasperating phenomenon has occurred all too often:

When trying to save a file, a warning message appears indicating that the
file is "locked by user ()" (i.e., no user is specified). As a result, the
file can not be saved.

A possible bypass has been to save the file under a new name, delete the
original.lck file (which has a size of 0 bytes), and rename the newly
named file with the original name; however, I fear that cross-reference
data is lost by doing this.

Can anyone tell me why this problem occurs and how it can be avoided?
Barring a solution, perhaps, a better workaround can be suggested.

Thank you,
