    Problem Symptoms:
    * Click Release Assignment on a locked record; the record appears locked.
    * Lock changes to Unassigned.

    Cause:


    Resolution:
    This is expected behavior:
    The "locked by: unassigned" indicates that the first cataloger that will edit it will get a "working copy" with all changes done by the last cataloger.
    The record is not truly locked, and can be edited by a cataloger.
