clu_upgrade won't finish

Yesterday I tried installing patch kit 3 on a two-node cluster running
Tru64 5.1.

Everything went fine until, near the end, when you run "clu_upgrade
switch". The output from that was:

-------------------------
This is the cluster upgrade program.
You have indicated that you want to perform the 'switch' stage of the
upgrade.

Do you want to continue to upgrade the cluster? [yes]:
Initiating version switch on cluster members
.Marking stage 'switch' as 'started'.

kill: 531895: no such process
-------------------------

I didn't know if the kill error was normal or not, so I rebooted both
members as instructed. They both _seem_ to be running on the right
kernel now. Their sysconfigtabs look okay as best I can tell. But the
switch stage has not been marked completed and 'clu_upgrade clean'
refuses to run.

Anyone have any ideas? After perusing clu_upgrade (which is, to me, a
very obtuse KSH script) it looks like the kill error is caused by a call
to "clu_release_lock." I can't figure out why and I actually haven't
been able to figure out what the script is doing between the
clu_get_lock and clu_release_lock.
