One more input on this. Run the majority of your tests in the "Quick Test"
mode. In this mode, much less data is saved and your will have much fewer
problems with the MaxLocksperFile issue. Plus your tests will run much
faster. If you find a test where you need to see all the data, then just
rerun the test with the "Quick Test" box unchecked.
