Object requested is currently locked by userWF-BATCH-questions 4.6c

[Mike Pokraka]

Hi Alon,

True, it was broken at one point - I worked on a 4.6c system where it was
a bit iffy. A note fixed it (where it became 'stable') but I kinda assumed
that Rick would be on a patch level newer than 2 years ago :-)

If it doesn't then I'd suggest reporting it to OSS, because it should.

Cheers
Mike
