That is how the ns_cache stuff works in 4.5. There is a maxwait flag that can be set when the cache is created. If one thread has the lock (updating the cache) the others will only wait a certain amount of time before timing out - good deadlock prevention.

I'd vote for -timeout on all lock requests, as that way I get both the "see if lock is available" functionality, as well as "lock it if it's available, but give up after a few seconds if it isn't"
