On Linux, placing a shared lock on handle opened in write mode (or exclusive on a handle in read mode) throws, while doesn't on Windows. Also, unlocking a non-locked handle does not throw on Linux, but does throw on Windows. I think Linux's behaviour is more desirable and Windows's behaviour should be adjusted to match.
