Sergey is right. Few additions :
As far as I know can happen only on a Novell server.
This "error" cannot be trapped i.e. is unavoidable.
Will happen when the user itself runs out of lock-resources or when the total server amount runs out of lock-resources (both can be separately set on the Novell server).
For 99,99 % sure this can occur due to a malfunction in Novell. So, there ARE not too many locks, but the server indicates as such.
When the amount for one user is exceeded, it 'll be only this one user seeing this (scrolling) message; when it is about the overall amount, more users will have the message.
When it is the suspected Novell malfunction, check for each user having the messages what he/she has locked; when nothing strange appears (like hundreds of records locked) one by one clear the connection, and look (one by one) if the others can continue. 10 to 1 this will occur, and you just removed a connection with (prooved) not too many locks. -> the malfunction. This may be a rather time-consuming operation, but will proove it is not your app (or is ;).
HTH,
