	 * 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
