No. If I wanted a partial fix, I could just as well have pushed it to
Marcelo myself. When I said "feel free" I was referring to pursuing the
remaining signalling bugs.

I have a feeling the second race case of your test is that you are
interrupting the fcntl(F_SETLK) call while it is on the wire. If you do
that, then the server may record the lock as taken, but the client will
never receive the reply, and so will not know that it must clean up
locks...
Hmm... For that case, we probably want to have the locking code record
the call as having succeeded in order to ensure that we do indeed clear
out the lock on process exit. See if the appended patch helps...

Cheers,
