Ok, makes sense.

There is a patch floating somewhere removing lockingfailed() altogether, since
it's an ugly piece of global state (a rampant modularity violation, if you
will). But I concede to have it put back, although I don't really know what its
effect here would be, anyway (don't report errors when cluster locking failed?
why?).

Yours,
   Petr.
