Empirically, I have found a way around this.  I needed to be able to
close all the locks I had open so that I could pull the disk without
WB leaving the icon up.  At least under 1.3 and 1.3.2, it seems safe
to ZERO the lock field in the startup message for any lock
you unlock yourself. Then WB will not try to re-unlock it.
