While trying to get a list of all bugs marked as RESOLVED FIXED for some specific components from a specific date[1], I got the following software error message:

Software error:

DBD::mysql::db do failed: Lock wait timeout exceeded; try restarting transaction [for Statement "DELETE FROM profile_search WHERE user_id = ? AND id <= ?"] at Bugzilla/Search/Recent.pm line 72

Bugzilla::Search::Recent::create('Bugzilla::Search::Recent', 'HASH(0x454fa18)') called at Bugzilla/Search/Recent.pm line 81

Bugzilla::CGI::redirect_search_url('Bugzilla::CGI=HASH(0x478a380)') called at /srv/org/wikimedia/bugzilla/buglist.cgi line 70

For help, please send mail to the webmaster (webmaster@wikimedia.org), giving this error message and the time and date of the error.

I was able to avoid this happening again by refreshing the page (Ctrl + R).
