[Bro] warning: removing stale lock

[Daniel Thayer]

If an instance of broctl crashed somehow (perhaps
due to a bug in the code), then next time you run broctl,
you'd get that message.

Which version of BroControl are you using?
Also, are you running "broctl cron" from a cron job?  If so,
then you'll want to check that the cron job runs
as the same user you normally use to run broctl.
