Update of /home/cvsd/slony1/slony1-engine/doc/adminguide
In directory main.slony.info:/tmp/cvs-serv21755

Modified Files:
	locking.sgml slonik_ref.sgml 
Log Message:
Add some caveats about locking.  There's some locking that shouldn't
normally be visible, except when it is ;-).   Or rather, except when
someone runs a database-wide vacuum or something like that which hits
Slony-I-specific objects.
