Odd, my HDB UUCP does do a validate on the lock file. If I kill -9
a uucico, the locks are left around. Running a second UUCP with
debug on shows that it's found a lock file and that it's okay to
remove it. I believe that HDB also does the kill 0 trick.
On the other hand, I'd be more interested in seeing if there was still
a process running. Run uustat -p and see if there's a running uugetty
with a lock.
