The above is a combination of the log files. It shows -I think- that qrunner 
crashes and leaves its locks. Thereafter it cannot start and logs this (once 
a minute). Then Something happens which removes the locks and everything 
works fine. 

This leads to 2 questions:
1. Why are the lock files not removed? (if that is because of qrunner 
crashing, then why does it crash?)
2. What event could remove the lock files and restore everything to its 
proper state?
