Hello,

	The lock file is not a stale file. It is getting created every time 
	the moment I click on the submit button after entering the reqd
changes.

	Probably, the lock file should be created to prevent a simultaneous
modification
	by an other user. The problem is that the lock file should get
deleted on it's own
	and but it is not.

Thanks and Regards,
Ramesh Chandra

It appears that you have a stale lock file (the 6.lock file in the locks 
directory)
that is preventing you from submitting updates. Delete the lock file and try
your PR update again.

Stale lock files can result if an edit is abnormally terminated....say, 
by killing
an edit-pr process during an edit.

Hope this helps.
