The file has to be locked between loading the document from disk (for the merge) and the actual saving. We cannot close and open it again, because the other instance could write in the meantime (however short) which would potentially lead to data loss. > Treat it more like import/export instead of > load/save, with embedded objects in a temporary storage, and don't keep > a file handle.

Here we should lock just before the check, and release the lock after the saving; otherwise again, anything can happen between the check and the save. Or maybe I did not understand you correctly?
