SD800-IS: "Memory Card Error" says it's locked, but it's NOT locked!

This camera was operating fine until just now.
Says "Memory Card Error"
"Memory Card Locked"
but .......... it is not locked.
It's so bizarre.
Does this mean my memory card got damaged (for NO apparent reason?)
... ready to pull my hair out -- because it's an 8GB Kingston card, which wasn't cheap.
Thanks for any help. :)

UPDATE: It's possible there's something faulty with the slide lock.
I moved the slide to lock, back to unlock .... it worked.
Dumped my pix.
Put card back in camera.
ERROR again!
Removed card; locked it / unlocked it / carefully put back in camera; works again.

This is so aggravating. ;)

Cards are cheap, sounds like this one is ready to be replaced. Dump it before it corrupts and you lose a picture you can't afford to lose.
