See the connection.c file in the rsync source for the file locking used
(which calls a routine in util.c).  Rsync tries to lock a 4-byte range in
the file, starting from the start and incrementing by 4 bytes for each slot.
 So, one way to check for the number of lockers is to use fcntl() with
F_GETLK to query the presence of existing locks on the lockfile.
