Does anyone know what would cause the database to deadlock while deleting a
filespace if NO other processes were running?
I have some, understatement, a bunch , ok, a few thousand old filespaces to
delete from an active server so i can't just
wipe the server and start over. The clients are Win95 and the server is NT
4.0 SP4  ADSM server running 3.1.2.40 code level.

here is the message...
