Considering that currently I'm the Apache::Session maintainer... :)

Apache::Session from 1.83 checks file lock failures, so I saw that
someone posted error logs here.

By default Apache::Session does read lock and escalates to write lock
when necessary. 'Transaction' does write lock at session start. This
has disadvantages, it will require other processes to wait before this
process will finish. Ideally, 'Transaction' should be only for
processes that will modify session data.
