It doesn't because our our FileLock uses a range of (0, Long.MAX_VALUE)
to lock a whole file which doesn't map transparently on how fcntl uses
it (it wants a len of zero when marking everything locked). I have some
mauve tests now for a couple of corner cases and am working on a patch
to fix any remaining issues. I can startup eclipse now without needing
-Dosgi.locking=none locally now:)
