Thanks Thomas for reply, but ...

... Opss! I have verify and this server is the only server with a Centos
5.5 with kernel 2.6.18-194.32.1.el5. (sorry for the OT)

On another 2 systems with fedora 14 (I thought it was one of these
servers with the error) the problem does not occur, but on these server
there are fewer users connected 
Currently I do not have the ability to update the C5.5 server, but I
will as soon as possible 
So my read /proc/locks problem it might be a kernel's problem?

Thanks for reply
