[webmin-l] Weird errors after restoring virtual server backups (virtualmin)

We're moving Virtualmin servers from one environment to another (this by 
the way seems like a never ending story when you host sites and servers 
need to be upgraded/enhanced/etc).

All of a sudden, I'm seeing this, which I haven't seen before:

pwconv: existing lock file /etc/passwd.lock with an invalid PID '13684
'

(that's a verbatim copy)

So I try to run pwconv from my shell. Virtualmin is done restoring the 
backup. Webmin isn't doing anything in particular. And I'm the only 
shell user on the server.

This has happened to me three times today, and never before. If I remove 
the lock files and run grpconv and pwconv manually again, all is fine.
