I had this problem myself, exactly as described by Shadowfirebird.
I cant 100% recall the steps it took to resolve it, but I know I had to
delete the ~/.sup/lock file, and then I manually killed all instances of
sup just to be sure. Maybe I did something else as well - maybe I didn't,
It was only a few weeks ago but I got such a bad memory.
Hope this helps,
Paul Grove
