	 * this problem, we separate out the actions of waiting for the
	 * lock to be available and of actually acquiring the lock.
	 *
	 * That approach produces behavior that is technically correct;
	 * however, it causes some performance & ordering problems for
	 * locks that have a lot of contention.  First, it is unfair in
	 * 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
	 * yields fairness and improved performance.
