Stale lockfile problem

[Alessandro Fiorino]

After installing cygwin I downloaded the kde-cygwin snapshot at
http://webdev.cegit.de/snapshots/kde-cygwin/kde/kde3.4/ and followed
the instruction, but when I try to start kde it goes in and endless
loop with this error going on forever
"WARNING: Problem deleting stale lockfile
/opt/kde3.4/home/share/config/kconf_updaterc.lock"
Any suggestion? I've already tried on two different PCs, both of them
running Windows XP SP2

Best regards,
