I dont know the exact circumstances, but I know it happens, right when 
it's least convenient..  Anyway, quitting emacs without saving would give 
you an opportunity to do a clean abort right then.  I went to great pain
in my cvsedit wrapper to get this right and maintain the behavior.

I know there were two stray locks within the last day or two, but I can't 
remember where...  Rod might...
