The cog moved on the threads. Sure of it. Rotafix the living pi** out of the cog (grease the threads first) and then tihghten the lockring until you break your $10 nashbar lockring tool. Then finish it with channellock pliers and go buy a real lockring tool. Oh, blue loctite on the lockring please. Do it before you permanently damage either the cog or lockring threads.
