This usually happens when the file name database file (*.fndb) is locked. I
think it is a Yap bug: Yap locks the file name database.

Because the fndb is now unlocked.

The fndb problem is not related to the font map file, i.e.,
'initexmf --mkmaps' does not cure the problem.

I will try to correct this in the next version of Yap.
