It is related, but only in that gnucash creates a "lock" file when you open
a file, and removes it when the file is closed (when you shut down the
program
or open up a different file).  As the program terminated abnormally due
to the bug you've found, the lock file didn't get deleted, so to make the 
message go away delete it yourself.  It'll be in the same directory as your
gnucash file and be of the same name, with a bunch of numbers and .LCK on
the
end.  Make sure that you're deleting the .LCK file rather than your data
file!
