I was having a major problem with this using TC 1.00.  It seemed that
the .PRJ file was becoming corrupted over time and that this would in
effect cause it to lock up in the same location over and over.  You
did not state whether you could compile without the ram disk, whether
you had the -Qx (Options--extended memory on) option in use, or whether
you were using TC or TCC.  Are you using MAKE?  A .BAT file?  This
information would be helpful.

Anyway, if you are using a .PRJ file and it locks all the time, delete
your .PRJ file and rebuild it.  Then do a complete rebuild of all your
source.  That should work, IF it is your problem.
