I understand table locking with MYSQL.

My concern is this. What happens if a php script issues a LOCK, and
then somehow crashes without issuing an UNLOCK?

All other scripts will not be able to access the LOCKed tables.

What is the solution for a situation like this? It will be pretty
unlikely, but I'm curious if there is anything I can do to mitigate
this situation.
