It certainly looks like a problem with /var/tmp/!!!SuperLock!!!
getting left around. But I don't know why that would only happen on
Ultra 10s (and all of them at once) and not other platforms, and why
it wouldn't affect someone else logging in after you. I can install a
bludgeon in the release (nuke the file at boot time and in between
logins), at the very least.
I would like to figure out why emacs (presumably it's emacs) is
leaving the file around. Should't /var/tmp be getting cleared at boot
time anyway?
