Tried this and several other suggestions, as well as a number of things
on the Lotus forums. Nothing works. I get that same Assertion
'c->xlib.lock' failed error message.

I'm really not happy with Notes at this point. How does IBM expect to
sell this for real money. F8 by comparison is FREE and actually works!

Reliably at that.

OK - now that I'm done with my rant, I'd appreciate other suggestions to
get this going.
