(pid 546721): (s, q, p, ?)? Error running timer ‘org-persist--refresh-gc-lock’: (file-locked "/home/minshall/.cache/org-persist/gc-lock.eld" "minshall@archlinux (pid 546721)") ---- since i don't see a PID in the lock file name (i assume it is), i wonder if the code occasionally has this problem when more than one instance attempts to acquire this lock at a time? cheers!
