Do you run a User Locking monitor? If so, you can view the report at any time from the Control Center Monitor List function. That will show you the number of User and System blocks allocated and used.
I do not see any references to this condition either.

I have been searching off and on through the manuals today and I still cannot find any reference to the "Agent is processing and is in out of block wait" condition, and what it is attributed to. I suspect it has something to do with a shortage of the lock request blocks allowed and available for an active user, but I cannot find anything that actually tells me that. Anyone have any knowledge about what this message means? Thank you Bill Pettit
