I have seen similar things happening before and am pretty sure that what 
happens is that gnatsd stumbles upon some config problem in the second 
database during PR submission and that it gets so confused that it crashes. 
That would explain why it never gets as far as to give the 210 confirmation 
message and thus also never deletes the lock file. Of course, gnatsd should 
never crash, no matter what, so if I am correct, this would certainly be a bug.

There are two ways to attack this. The simplest is probably if you check 
the setup of the second database very carefully, especially the syntaxof 
all the config files. The other way is to attach a debugger to the gnatsd 
process and see where it crashes. Unfortunately, I have too little 
experience with that kind of thing to advise you. I suggest you try to go 
very carefully through the setup and report what you find.

Perhaps Andrew can contribute some further advise on this?
