There was a simple bug in line 216 of file port.c that resulted in 
dereferencing a NULL pointer.  I e-mailed the fix to the author, I
guess I should have posted it too, but I thought a bunch of other
folks would.   The line should read:

  if (lock_path != NULL && *lock_path != NULL) {

The shipped code checks what lock_path points to *before* checking
it for NULL.
