from what I have witnessed,  godaddy is one of the worst hosts out
here.  I've heard tech support horror stories in forums and in irc and
unlike many things no one chimes in to take their side.

this does seem odd to me as well, LOCK should not be needed to create
the tables, but will be required for phpgw to operate.  We need LOCK
due to mysql's lack of transaction support using its defaults, not
locking means a chance for inconsistent data.

I'm sure there are better affordable hosts, maybe someone else on the
list can recommend one.
