That's correct.  It was very similar to the first bug I fixed.  It was
another situation where I was synchronizing on the wrong object, in this 
case a PreparedStatement, for a very brief moment instead of synchronizing 
on the sql Connection.  So it took just the right sequence of events to 
cause the problem.

This is considerably lower.  I was incorrect in assuming that the problem
was related to the number of transactions.  It's really most closely related
to load.  Basically we needed a local client to register and call enterLab
while another thread had the database locked.  That happened three times
on Friday.  Although Friday was a bad day, the logs provided me with enough
information to find a bug.  It's definitely a bug, and I'm pretty sure it's
*the* bug.
