Dick, this "Waiting for sandbox lock" means that you have another "b-command"
process still running in your current sandbox.  The sandbox environment uses
your own <sandbox>/src/.BCSlock file to coordinate multiple actions.

If you know you're not doing anything else in the sandbox, just remove the
 .BCSlock file; a new one will get created the next time you bci or whatever.
This probably was the result of a ^C not being handled well by ode.  It's
not related in any way to the lastin/buffer changeover.

Whe I try to do a b-command (specifically, bco or bci) I get this message:

[ Waiting for sandbox lock via flock() ]

Things then come to a screeching hang, although I can ^C out.  Are we
still connected to lastin, and is it sick?

Josh,

That was indeed it.  When ronyon was hung yesterday, I ^C'ed out of a
bco -u command, and the shell prompt never came back.  (Oor maybe it did
come back after I went home.)  In any case, I still had hung processes
of bco -u and authcover - I killed those, deleted the .BCSlock file, and
things worked fine.

Thanks!
