Maybe we should not have a public constant defined for the length :
+#define LOCK_SUFFIX_LEN 5

since it encourages unsafe code like :  (this was unsafe long before
your patch so not a regression)
+       i = strlen(result_file) - LOCK_SUFFIX_LEN; /* .lock */
        result_file[i] = 0;



What about removing LOCK_SUFFIX_LEN from the public API and introduce
a helper function something like :


/* pointer to the character where the lock suffix starts */
char *lock_suffix_ptr_safe(const char *filename)
{
    size_t len = strlen(filename);
    if (len < 5)
       die("BUG:...
    if (strcmp(filename + len - 5, LOCK_SUFFIX)
       die("BUG:...
    return filename + len - 5;
}

and use it instead?
