Here is a version (for v3-6-test) that just completely removes all the optimization
and calls brl_unlock() for every lock on file close. Passes all tests
and seems to be the thing to push for master.

If you can log a bug on this I'll get it scheduled for 3.6.1 (it's
too late for 3.6.0 I'm afraid).

It really does seem that premature optimization is the root of all
evil :-).

Cheers,

Jeremy.
