What are stale lock files?
I've been having them for a few weeks now, they need to go away!

r...@curly /root# portversion -c

        These are related to a (harmless) twitch in a recent version of
ruby.  Updating to the latest version fixed it for me.

Thanks Robert and Polytropon,
Running 'portversion -c' after 'portupgrade -a' no longer shows any stale lock files.
Just wondering...is there any utility to find and remove these things?
Maybe a reboot?
