Someone could have done a OPEN/READ/WRITE temp SYS$SYSTEM:SYSUAF.DAT and
forgot to CLOSE it, leaving the file locked.

Would explain why it worked after a reboot.

Next time it happens:


SHOW DEV/FILES/NOSYS <system disk>: | SEARCH SYS$INPUT SYSUAF

This will tell you which processes have the file opened.
