"FrameMaker has detected a problem and must quit" Really?!

[Ken Poshedly]

I was only aware that an .lck file prevents two people from working on the same 
file simultaneously, each with permission to save the file with his/her latest 
changes.

But I guess there is/was more to it.

Note that creation of a .lck file is an option that the user can turn on or off. 
In the "General" tab of the FrameMaker Preferences dialog, it's the "Network 
File Locking" option. (At least that's what it's been named and where it's been 
located in every version from 5.5.6 through 9, which is what I'm currently 
using).
