to be honest, that sounds like a dubious change anyways since it doing 
anything at all depends on the sigaction settings. a F_SETLK should only
hang if the file is really locked (or some weird not per related failures
like doing the test over nfs and not being able to reach the remote lockd)
on the sigaction settings. 

I suspect it is symptom fixing instead of bug fixing.
