Comment (by Pete):

 Replying to [comment:1 bonefish]:
 > Do you mean you cannot kill Tracker? That would be an (additional)
 kernel issue.
 Oh, sorry -- no.  Yes, killing and restarting Tracker would be an
 alternative, but I guess I think rebooting is just about as quick! (:-/)

 And I should make it clear that the Tracker as a whole is not locked.
 Just the 'Tracker Status' window.


 BTW, a related issue that I hadn't picked up on before:  FIFOs don't show
 up as files in a Tracker window, so they can sit there as traps for the
 careless!
