+ * the sense that a released lock isn't necessarily granted to
+ * the process that has been waiting the longest. A waiter may
+ * be starved out indefinitely. Second, it creates a thundering
+ * herd situation each time the lock is released.
+ *
+ * When the "-k" option is used, the unlink race no longer
+ * exists. In that case we can block while acquiring the lock,
+ * avoiding the separate step of waiting for the lock. This
