Lock file error

Hi!

I've been using Unison for a few years, mainly to implement roaming 
profiles in linux by syncing local home folders to the server and back, 
depending of which computer a user is using that day.

It was working properly for as long as I can remember, but lately, I'm 
getting the error:
Fatal error: Warning: the archives are locked.

There is a lk file in the server .unison directory. If I delete it, it get 
recreated the next time I run unison.

I'm positive that I'm not syncing a local folder to the same folder over 
ssh because if I use the -ignorelocks switch on the command line, it works 
properly.

I'm running Unison 2.51.5 (ocaml 4.13.1) on both the clients and the 
server. I'm reluctant to install a later version as it could break my 
packages on my LTS server.

I also have the ignore = Name .* in the config file to prevent syncing the 
.unison folder.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Patrick
