>From the javadoc of FileLock:
```
* <p> If this lock object is valid then invoking this method releases the
* lock and renders the object invalid. If this lock object is invalid
* then invoking this method has no effect. </p>
```
It is not very clear how the potential IOException out of the method is related
to the second part above.
My assumption is that an IOException implies that the ownership of the lock is
no longer held.
