It means (1) that the person who wrote that ASP doesn't understand
locking and/or (2) the ODBC layer they used didn't understand locking
(ie didn't do a BEGIN WORK ... COMMIT block around their update) or made
a mistake or (3) MS SQL is stuffed.

It didn't happen with Netscrape simply because it doesn't happen every
time. If you tried again with KFM, it would be unlikely to recur (unless
the ASP writer stuffed up _really_ badly, which is not beyond the realms
of probability. (-:
