Thanks for all the offers of help guys.  But before trying the method
out I have a question.

 
r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl (Ruud de Rooij) had originally written -

The problem in my case is almost definitely libnfslock.  I never created
ld.so.preload  I am almost entirely certain that I had libnfslock
installed.

Would the solutions suggested by Philip Hand or Gergely Madarasz still
work?  Or should I try Martin Schulze's solution?

Thanks.
