[pmwiki-users] action=edit hangs

Apologies, I sent this (below) directly to pm instead of to the group as I
had intended. I am still at a complete loss as to how to fix this problem
in any kind of acceptable solution...
I attempted deleting .flock, renaming it, renaming wiki.d, renaming pmwiki
itself, etc. and nothing was successful. Mtime and atime continue to be
updated regularly.
However, I have found a workaround. I went into pmwiki.php to the Lock()
function and changed the line reading
SDV($LockFile,"$WorkDir/.flock");
To
SDV($LockFile,"$WorkDir/.MYflock");
Now I am once again able to edit pages on my site. However, I don't know if
I've set myself up for something else in the future... Hopefully everybody
is well-behaved and always uses this function to get/use .flock, but if not
I could get myself into worse problems...
I would still greatly appreciate it if anybody could give me any pointers
how delete the undeletable .flock file so I can go back to normal
behavior...
-Peter

Never returns a page to the browser -- message in the status bar continues
to say "waiting for ccl-al.org" indefinitely. Hmmm... Actually the page I
left in that state 4 hours ago now shows "done" in the status bar and a
blank page. No idea when it change nor whether there was any error message
that I might have missed since I haven't been near the computer for quite a
while...

Hmmm... Can't seem to do that! Results from filezilla:
===(snip)===
Command: DELE .flock
Response: 550 /pmwiki/wiki.d/.flock: Cannot delete file.
===(snip)===
Permissions are fine as far as I can see... (rwrwrw=666)
Webadmin gives no errors when I attempt the deletion, but the file is still
there after "deleting".
Do note that the atime and mtime is current on .flock. Perhaps changes each
time I try to delete via webadmin? Yes, that appears correct. Ctime is
sometime back in February (probably when I updated to the then-current
beta?)
I have no command line access, unfortunately. What I can do via FTP and PHP
is the extent of my permission.
