Hi,
  I got this error message in my SYSLOG on the day I booted the machine.

No lockd, or statd here

6 hours later:
--
Jan  4 16:50:30 marvin rpc.lockd[120]: cannot contact local statd
Jan  4 16:50:30 marvin rpc.lockd[120]: req discard due to status monitor problem
--
And this goes on and on... (every 2 seconds lockd looks for statd)
at 17:52 I tried to log in (I never noticed this I think)
--
[...]

So I tried to log in again, and it worked...

Three days later:
--

Those rpc.lockd[120] are always happening and I don't know if they have 
anything to do with the problem...

Because I was kicked out of my session I investigated the SYSLOG, and 
saw the rpc.lockd thing.  So my questions are:

1)  What is that rpc.lockd error, and why is it happening?  I'm rebooting
    the machine now, and hoping it will disappear, but still...
2)  Why did I get logged out of the machine?  (It _might_ be because
    I'm using the new Lucid Emacs (19.3)).
3)  Any connection between 2, and 3?  Notice that I was logged out before
    (January 4th), and didn't notice it.

Thanks, 
Ori
