As to the error:

What version of ElevateDB are you using ?  Does the problem occur when you
use the EDB Manager to make a connection, and then kill the EDB Manager
process ?

The only way that you could see that type of locking error is if the
ElevateDB Server has a particular database open *exclusively*.  And that
only happens during a database alter, rename, drop, or restore.

Are you sure that you don't have any local sessions trying to access the
same database as the ElevateDB Server, but using different configuration
files ?  That is usually what causes this type of problem:

You know I do.      I have just not had the time to verify anything to
the point where I can reproduce it.

Have you reported this to Tim, and has he been able to reproduce it?
