Subject: [PATCH] Re-read Unix-socket lock file every so often (every
 CheckPoint interval, actually) to ensure that its file access time doesn't
 get old enough to tempt a /tmp directory cleaner to remove it.  Still another
 reason we should never have put the sockets in /tmp in the first place ...
