[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

When setting system-name to nil (should that be allowed?), Emacs forgets
how to delete the lock files '.#.*' and all subsequent startups complain
about lockups by old dead PIDs.

From what I get, either system-name should not be allowed to set as nil or
file locks should be still deleted on exists because they still have
usernames in the aliases.
