Does anyone know what the following error means?
I've been getting it on occassion.  Some times it helps if I try a=20
different keyserver, but some times (like now) it seems to make no=20
difference.

$ gpg --recv-key 0x57548DCD
gpg: waiting for lock (held by 2813 - probably dead) (deadlock?) ...
gpg: waiting for lock (held by 2813 - probably dead) (deadlock?) ...
gpg: waiting for lock (held by 2813 - probably dead) (deadlock?) ...

Thanks,
