Semaphore Lock Files Not Being Deleted

[brendon-codes]

We are on Billiard 2.7.3.9. Billiard is creating semaphore lock files, but they don't seem to always be clearing out. Every few weeks, this seems to use up our entire disk, then causing entire server to crash. Here is the the stack trace:

Not yet, the current solution is to restart the computer periodically. . .
