I don't know if you've already resolved this problem, but if you 
haven't, it may be related to the change in lock file implementations. 
Since the lock file is now stored in a different place than the index, 
it might be possible to remove an index directory, yet still have a lock 
file for it.  Could that be what's happening here?

Also, you asked if it was possible to disable locking, and the answer is 
yes.  Check out FSDirectory.java for details.

Doug
