Stefan - you're thinking 'correctness' - I'm thinking "user experience". What
the user wants is to load their document :-)

Wrt. ENOLCK - AFAICS this is a -completely- valid thing to return if the file
can in fact not be locked. It's prolly a bug that this wasn't returned
previously - and we just got a different error code that the higher-level code
ignored in a more sensible way ;-) I'd put good money on that.

The scenario is simple to reproduce, install OpenSUSE 10.0 - or any recent Linux
distro (I believe RH have the same problem) - and try to open a file on an NFS
share [ by default it seems you can't reliably lock files via NFS ]. I'm sure
there are prolly other file systems that you can't lock with - disconnected /
synching / stacked pieces / etc. 

At the end of the day - "I can't open my document" is pretty painful ;-)
potentially of course, we need to teach the upper level code about this and then
get it to ignore that error in the same way [ or - to vandalise the user
experience we could throw up a dialog saying "this document cannot be locked -
can I annoy you again ? <sometimes> <always>" ;->  ... up to you ;-]

propagating the error up reliably & handling it in every case in this way would
of course be a more elegant solution I guess.
