I'm not sure I'm convinced about that.  A lockset based race detector
can report violations of a locking discipline, that could lead to
races, even if they didn't happen in this particular run.  Indeed, 
that insensitivity to scheduling is basically the main advantage of
the lockset algorithm family.
