Which works better, actually, but sometimes still fails. I've
also had cases where all three tests for the existence of the
lockfile would run at the same time, before it was created.
I've solved this problem by storing the pid in the lockfile,
so a script instance can know if its lockfile got overwritten.

Now it works fine.
