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.
