Re: Job holds large number of locks.

Look at the libraries it is saving around this time - my stab at it is you 
will find source libraries or some other kind of multi-member file.

Do you have a lot of source libraries starting with A (ARC?) ? And some 
more sitting somewhat at the rear of your save ?
