Beta 5 and its lockfile

[jbrowne]

Eric,
    Thanks, but I tried that, along with running it as root. The lock command 
was crashing even when tested in isolation. After getting corrupted HTTP 
downloads of binaries and source from Bayor, I used FTP for the binary and had 
then this problem. On the chance that it was another download problem, I did 
another download from Hannover. Same problem.

  If it is working for you, what kernel and glibc versions are you running?

  I apparently still have libc5.on the 2.2.7 kernel. Time to update and or 
compile.

                              Thanks again
                               Jim
