Transcoding and commflagging aren't supposed to run on the same
program at the same time.  It sounds like there's a bug that
accidentally allows that, which is being looked at now.

Nonetheless, it would be easy enough to change the SQL query on the
inuseprograms table to wait for other kinds of accesses in addition to
player accesses to complete, if there turns out to be a need.
