Here is the cut-and-paste of the error I mentioned.  Please note that I
opened a new bash shell and cd to /d/xc/config/cf and then typed ls X11.*
and it got into this endless cycle of lock_pinfo_for_update:.... errors that
I had to kill the bash shell.

Is this a bug in snapshot which could be related to new security feature???
