Problem conclusion

• The problem occurs when a lockedByRoot object is contained by
  another lockedByRoot object and that object is containe by
  non-rootOfLocking, non-lockedByRoot object. If the child-most
  object is saved by itself (without saving either of the parent
  objects), then the objects are transferred to the server with
  the child inflated and the parent as a proxy. When we checked
  the database to find the object's container, we did not check
  for the lockedByRoot or rootOfLocking stereotypes.
  
  The problem was resolved by adding checking for the
  lockedByRootand rootOfLocking stereotypes on container objects
  that are     loaded from the database.
  

Temporary fix

• Patch delivered to FastTrack for testing. They report that it
  seems to be working. Will close the APAR when FT releases.
