Error 1222: Lock request time out period exceeded & SP4 ?

Hi,
After Spl Server 2000 w/ 16 G memory was applied SP4 and hotfix for AWE, it
got an error "Error 1222: Lock request time out period exceeded." while
running a stored procedure. It hung the process for much longer than normal.
It worked fine with SP3a. Is this error associated with SP4? Thanks.
