:comments anyone?

Perfectly true however, in the following case (removal before
starting), that isn't assured.  Infact it's possible for Netscape to
crash taking all it's windows with it, but leaving a thrashing process
in the background.  I don't know what affect removing the lock file
has with a dead but not gone Netscape process lurking around.
