"Your global history is already being used ..."

[Eric Cronin]

Both of my computers had the same problem.  In ~/Library/Application 
Support/OmniWeb there was an old HistoryIndex.ox.lock that was over a 
year old which was causing the problem.  Quitting OmniWeb and then 
deleting the lock manually did the trick.  On both machines this lock 
file was much older than the start of the 4.5sp releases, so I'm not 
sure what left it there (an omniweb crash that I had to force kill 
instead of crashcatcher I would guess), or why omniweb had been 
silently happy up until sp32...
