Here is the result of ps, which I forgot about:

Note again that on this computer, Sage hasn't been run (and, afaik,
was closed properly) in at least a week.  And certainly
sage-4.1.2.rc1/2 hadn't been run for months!  Maybe it was a problem
specific to those - or a bad termination of them?  In which case I
apologize for wasting bandwidth.  But if someone knows what I did
wrong, hopefully I can avoid doing it in the future, and maybe we can
put a check in for it if people are similarly unlucky.
