Details

If you start mozilla, you can go to a dos prompt and rename, edit, etc address book files. This is fine. If you open the address book (Ctrl-5), the file is locked and I can't make any modifications to it in a dos prompt. This is fine also. After I shut down the address book component, the file remains locked until I shutdown Mozilla. Shouldn't the file be unlocked when I shutdown the address book? Thanks!
Bug confirmed. Application behavior is as reporter describes. Changing qa assign.

This poses some problems for me when sharing an addressbook between accounts. Nominating mozilla0.9

Another thought on this. If it isn't being unlocked, then it is probably still in memory. This looks like an easy way to free up some more memory leakage as the program continues to run.

Win32 (2001-05-31-06 trunk) This is fixed. After I close the address book, it unlocks it and I am able to rename the address book. (abook-8.mab is the example I am using)
