Pete, 

Thanks for the tips, particularly checking the Task Server/App Server status
in the admin.  I saw a bunch of old requests in the App Server that varied
in length from 2 hours to 24 hours, which are almost certainly my attempts
to access this file.

I also think I have the root problem figured out. I'd been working on a
query that would both update some documents on the server, and then
copy/archive them elsewhere.  When I combined the update/copy actions into a
single script, that's when I started seeing this behavior. I'll be taking
the Grouch Marx approach and "Not Doing That" anymore.

The only other question I'd have here (for anyone) would be, is there a way
to kill those old requests that are hanging around the server (short of a
reboot)?  I've tried clicking the [cancel] link/button for all of them, but
they're pretty insistent on sticking around.

Pete, thanks again for your help!
