I don't think so. I am using DevStudio 2005 here and from time to time the
debugger crashes so that I have to kill the program via the task manager.
Afterwards it's not possible to load the crashed project again in a newly
started DevStudio session, because some project files are still locked
exclusively. The only action that helps is rebooting windows.

Now, I don't know whether DevStudio is using LockFileEx() but somehow this
sounds familiar.
