OO appears to create an "in-use" flag in /tmp

Therefore, if that flag is not deleted when OO is closed, the next instance
will think it's already running and refuse to start.

For example, here is an OO flag on my computer:

/tmp/OSL_PIPE_500_SingleOfficeIPC_f45996626496b1cda1213dac254548d

It goes away when I close OO.

Accordingly, the best solution is to simply delete that flag from /tmp and all
should be well.

Rebooting the computer will clear all of the files in /tmp so that is also a
solution that will work, but it's a bit more drastic than is actually required.
