In this case it's possible that .flock isn't very stable in this
environment. We might see if moving the .flock file to a local
file system solves the problem -- i.e., /tmp/radu-flock or something
like that.
Any sort of semaphore works for this -- PmWiki just wants a way to
make sure that multiple edit processes aren't interfering with each
other.
