Network has to keep track of your locks, so it has to store them somewhere. There _is_ some limit to it, I think it's user-level in Novell. Just check it with your supervisor - I fail to remember how it goes for 3.12, in 4.x you'd have to start NetAdmin or NWAdmin and change settings for your account. Still, there'd have to be some limit, if not 500 or 1500, then 2000 or 3000. Seems to be that changing the user settings won't do you much good - at user's site you may not have the ability to change them, so you'd better work around it.
