Depends on your broker. Etrade suspends trading in that case. I had two stocks that they suspended trading on for that reason and not just buys - they wouldn't allow me to sell either. So I transferred the equities to Choicetrade who does not restrict trading. I think it is way more of a hassle for them because it is a paper process - sometimes they will hit you with extra fees because of this.
