I'd rather not add retries into the TNC code unless others are having similar problems. > To complicate matters, the lockfiles were left in place and I wasn't > able to do a simple restart of xastir to clear things up.

I just looked at that area of the code this morning. It requires debug_level=2 in order to see the lockfile messages on STDERR. -- Curt, WE7U.
