Additional Details :
If you run the NavCenter when another browser has the lock,
you get a lot of asserts from nlcstore.c (line 262 mostly,
and 294, and possibly one other.)

Maybe this is not really a bug, but shouldn''t asserts only
fail on things that should never, ever happen, not normal
error conditions?

Additional Details :
We need to add some logic that only allows you to run one Browser at a time, or
that makes the addition Browsers read-only.

If you do need to run two at once, you can create a second home directory.  I
usually test in a extra home directory.  For instance,

setenv HOME /u/slamm/.testhome

For starters, we could modify the code that pops up the lock dialog to popup a
dialog explaining the situation and then quiting.  We should probably allow
people to force the lock to go away too.
