Are you saying the lock operation is still going on in the background after the window is closed? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought most TSVN windows did not allow you to close them until the operation was done (like the "OK" would be grayed out).
So at what point should the user expect TortoiseProc.exe to close?
