I don't think we have a reliable way of checking to see whether or not another
instance is running. Sure, if an instance of custom finds a PID in a lockfile,
It will know "this working.tmp does not belong to me", but then

A) How do we check if the other instance is still running?
B) If some process with that other PID is running, how do we know it is really
another custom instance, and not some other random process that happened to
take the same PID?
C) Is it safe to delete it?

Not that I disagree about the current behaviour being highly sub-optimal.
