The ISAM code will tell you why but most likely some key was locked. Try
adding 'SET LOCK MODE TO WAIT 10' this will cause any attempt to access a
locked object to wait ten seconds before returning an error. Since most
locks are transient this should do the trick. If not you have some massive
transaction affecting and locking rows for long periods of time that needs to
be rewritten.
