Subject: lock files...

For some reason, when I do something like

config list list-password

a list.config.LOCK file is created...I assume this is normal operation, so
that the config file isn't written to by multiple users at the same
time...however, the lock file doesn't go away, and I don't get back the
config file...I get the following error:

MAJORDOMO ABORT (mj_majordomo)!!

Can't get lock for /home/majordomo/lists/list.config


If I delete the lock file, the command seems to succeed, and I get the
config file...if not, I get the previous error message...

Any clue as to how I can fix this?
