From time to time, dosbox crashes, and I cant kill the process off. Where is the lockfile located so I can delete it?
Otherwise, I cant start another instance and I have to reboot.

Lockfile? What, where? Windows, Linux? Why do you think there is a lock??

Must not be Windows, since you can run multiple instances of DOSBox in it (XP anyways).
there is no lockfile
I'm running version 0.63 (latest) on linux 2.6.8 kernel. When dosbox crashes, it dissapears from the screen, but I -think- the process is still in the process table, and I cannot kill it. And I cant run another instance. So I'm assuming there is a lockfile (common mechanism) stopping more that one instance executing.

Does it show up in the process list when you run the ps command?
run a "ps -afux" in a console... If it's there, then kill it. if it doesn't die, kill -9 it... If that doesn't work, su and kill -9 it. If that doesn't work, rebooting may be your best option...
Exactly.
