##############################################################################

# NOTE
#
# If a signal occurs in the very short window between pmnslock returning and
# setting haveLock, the lock is not released by cleanup().  Any subsequent
# process calling pmnslock will block until its pmnslock steals the lock
# (currently after 120 secs).  That window is carefully minimised.
#
# Past versions of similar scripts (e.g. Rebuild) unconditionally unlocked the
# namespace when a signal was caught.  This could potentially happen while
# still waiting to acquire the lock, breaking a lock held by another process!
#
# Consider locking and backup/restore implications carefully if making changes.
