I'm replying to my self. I just installed a new catalog under the same 
ic-instance, and there is still something strange. If i edit the 
locale-table via the admin-ui, all catalogs "freeze" for a certain 
period before the "lock/timeout" seems to get released and all pages 
work again smoothly.

I'll try now with a fresh perlbrew-version of 5.24.1 and a fresh 
ic-install to see if i still have the same problem..
