Restarting GC after a crash _always_ shows the lock message. This is not
a bug in the program, so no fix is required. It would be nice if the
error message were easier to understand, and we had a long conversation
about that a year or so ago, but there wasn't agreement on the wording.

In any case, follow these directions:

And it's worth bookmarking the FAQ. If you check it before posting a
query, you may find you have an immediate answer with no need to wait
for a custom reply.
