  *  The lock structure for each database lock set.  A lockset is the

- *    is considered adjacent if the link connecting it to the lock
- *    set causes that record to process.  In other words, a record
- *    is considered part of the lock set if the action of getting
- *    or putting a value to that record (with a link) causes that
- *    record to process.
