[ale] Problem with elm file lock

[janderson at iss.net (Jason Anderson)]

While playing with fetchmail today I have managed to get elm's lock status
into a funny state.  I am not overly familiar with how elm handles locks,
but I get the:

 Waiting to read mailbox while mail is being received: attempt #x

error and cannot seem to figure out how to remove the lock.  there is
nothing in /tmp /var/spool/mail /var/lock or anything else that resembles
something to remove.  I have even shutdown and rebooted on the off chance
that something non-file was holding onto it with no luck.  I can access my
mail with other programs without complaint, so it seems to be an
elm-specific problem.

Any suggestions?
