So when a new aMSN instance checks if that port is open. But if it's
not, that means the amsn crashed and the lockfile is just stale.

At least I think that's how it works.

Yeah, that's indeed what is being told all the time someone complains about this problem. But it seems there is a little leak in that protocol. Sometimes it just happens that the profile stays locked after a crash of amsn, although
I don't know how that may happen.

really, guys I don't know, but you can do this simple test, for me it is ALWAYS reproduceable

edit your .amsn/profiles
----cut here----
amsn_profiles_version 1
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 60742
----cut here----

for me this is ALWAYS failing, producing no output on console and just hanging...


but if you then set it to
----cut here----
amsn_profiles_version 1
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 0
----cut here----

it will come back running...

I'm on ubuntu breezy badger and kernel 2.6.12-10-i386

bye :)
