I don't have this exact problem, but I have had problems where sup has
claimed to be unable to kill another instance because of a lock
problem. I get a different message, but I'm running an old version.
I find that sometimes Xapian has left a lockfile. If I delete
.sup/xapian/flintlock then I can start sup just fine.
