It looks like your work is duplicated with Stefan's patches:

Hmm, Stefan's approach was to unconditionally DISABLE the locking
parameter in the tests, but I'm now wondering if unconditionally
ENABLING the parameter, and adjusting the expected test output, is the
better course of action.  At any rate, I agree that we want the tests to
be independent of what the actual installation provides.
