Problem with screen lock

I'm having a weird problem with a RHEL6 workstation. When the screen lock is activated manually the system will lock and the screens will go blank. Once I try to unlock the system, the monitor will just flicker and won't respond. I tried the combination CTRL, ALT, Backspace and it did not work, I also tried CTRL, ALT, F2 and was able to get a command line but was not able to return to a GUI session without rebooting the system. Does anyone know how to fix this issue or can offer any advice?

Thanks in advance.

NAME
pthread_spin_unlock - unlock a spin lock object SYNOPSIS
cc -mt [ flag... ] file... [ library... ] #include <pthread.h> int pthread_spin_unlock(pthread_spinlock_t *lock); DESCRIPTION
The pthread_spin_unlock() function releases the spin lock referenced by lock which was locked with the pthread_spin_lock(3C) or pthread_spin_trylock(3C) functions. The results are undefined if the lock is not held by the calling thread. If there are threads spinning on the lock when pthread_spin_unlock() is called, the lock becomes available and an unspecified spinning thread acquires the lock. The results are undefined if this function is called with an uninitialized thread spin lock. RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, the pthread_spin_unlock() function returns 0. Otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the error. ERRORS
The pthread_spin_unlock() function will fail if: EINVAL An invalid argument was specified. EPERM The calling thread does not hold the lock. ATTRIBUTES
