Summary: execfile locks file forever if there are any syntax errors

Initial Comment:
When I execfile a file which contains a syntax error, the file becomes
locked and stays this way all the way until I exit the interpreter (I
am unable to delete it, for example). I have tried but failed to find
any way to unlock the file.
