I have a problem that I can't understand readily.  I have a database that has a 
couple of tables that lock for a recognizable period of time.  The reason I 
know is because during the lock the application stops responding totally.  The 
storage engine is MyIsam.  I have reread everything about locks in both InnoDB 
and MyIsam.  I know that I can change to InnoDB and that would alleviate the 
problem, but I am curious as to what the problem is.  This is a new problem for 
the application has been running for 4 years.  The server is a 64bit server 
with 16GB of memory, raid 10, and a quad core CPU.  The size of the database is 
600MB.  The lock occurred while two users were accessing the same table.

Thanks for any insight,

/ZK
