>Description:
Recently, I changed the email addresses of
everyone listed in our GNATS `responsible' file.
After that change, when running `queue-pr --run',
the gnats.lock file is not removed, preventing 
all edits to PRs.  Restoring the old `responsible'
file fixes the problem.

As far as I can tell, all the email addresses in the 
revised file are valid.  Even so, why would an 
invalid email cause this problem?

>How-To-Repeat:
Install the attached responsible file

 #
 #                People responsible for a given PR.
 #
 # Any line which begins with a `#' is considered a comment, and GNATS
 # will ignore it. 
 #
 # Each entry has the format:
 #
 #      person:full name:address
 #
 # * The `person' can either be an abbreviated name, or the person's
 #   username (local to the GNATS site) which should be listed in the PR.
 # * The `full name' is simply their name, as in "Diane Williams".
 # * The `address' field is either empty for local addresses, or should
 #   the electronic mail address of the person.
 #
 # You MUST have this entry for GNATS to work.

 # Sample remote people:
 #
 # Bill is a local user, so `mail bill' will work.  Al is remote, so he
 # should receive the message as `al@senate.gov'.  Finally, joe is
 # another local user.
