[Glass] Request for MFC gclock by session 15 denied, reason: vote state is voting, waiting for promote dead

[Dale Henrichs]

John,

If you are using the standard matinenance vm script, then an mfc is kicked
off immediately, which could explain the gc lock ...

Between the stone log and admingcgem log we should be able to figure out
what's up...
