[Zope] Database error: File can't be locked

For no apparent reason yesterday we started getting a 'Serious Application
Error' when starting Zope.   In the PCGI.LOG we see:

"Database error: File can't be locked."

Normally this means someone else is using the file, but we don't know which
file it's talking about. Shutting down and restarting Zope doesn't unlock
the file and doesn't solve the problem.

Any idea what the problem is or how to solve it?  Or even which file it's
talking about?

Thanks,

Alan
