Run "ps awx|grep vnc". That will give you one or more PIDs. Pick one
that appears to be the lost pid and "kill -9" the process. Or you could
attempt to recreate the lock and see if there is a way to attach to that
session. But I have my doubts. At least you'll end up knowing its pid,
which is more than you seem to know now.
