I have a way round this. I run MD from a script - you need one anyway
to set all the java stuff up. What I do in the script is to see if a
lock file exists. If it does not, I create it and invoke MD. If it does
then I put up a message saying another copy is running and quit. Normal
exit deletes the lock file.
