I made similar experiences with the semaphore locking method. It caused two different problems for me: * deadlocks like the ones you experienced * if two users concurrently use the site, the results appear simultaneously; i.e. the one with the faster access has to wait till the other one has finished. This was a big problem for us. Now, I switched to "sessions in files, use files for locking" and the problems vanished. Cannot say what mysql locking will do, I never used a database for session storage.
