Hello!

Ive got that message:

psql -c vacuum

NOTICE:  LockRelease: locktable lookup failed, no lock
ERROR:  Can't create lock file.  Is another vacuum cleaner running?
        If not, you may remove the pg_vlock file in the
/usr/local/pgsql/data/base/chili
        directory

Whats about this?
We are using Suse Linux 7.3 with postgres 6.5.3.

I cannot see a file named pg_vlock in that directory!
