[plug] web page problem

Hi,

Your search was just unlucky. I am suprised that the command wasn't automaticly
restarted by the database.

What happens with deadlocks is something like this. Firstly you have 2 or more
threads and they all can share locks.

* Process One grabs lock A
* Process Two grabs lock B
* Process Two grabs lock A and has to wait for process one to finish with it.
* Process One grabs lock B and has to wait for process two to finish with it.

At this point, both processes are waiting for each other indefinitly, which is
what we computer people call a deadlock. Deadlocks are bad. Databases will
always look out for deadlock conditions, either by detecting or preventing
them. MS SQL appears to detect when deadlocks occur. In your case the sql
server detected a deadlock between your request and some other request, and
decided it should about your request so the other request finishes.

I wouldn't worry too much about it, just run whatever you were doing again, and
it should work. The browser you use should make no difference
