The other thing you should do is avoid using kill -9 as your first resort
to get rid of something you don't want. It's a "kill with extreme
prejudice" command that blasts the process slot without giving the
application a chance to clean up after itself. Try using ctrl-C, then
just plain kill, then maybe kill -1 before going for the throat. Had you
done this instead, CVS' signal handlers would have cleared the locks for
you.
