On Windows, for a filename such as ..\conf.db, the name of the lockfile
constructed by lockfile_name() turns out to be ...\conf.db.~lock~. This is
not a valid path. The extra '.' added to make the file hidden does not work
as expected if backslash ('\') is used for directory separation.
A simple fix is to not use '.' on Windows to hide the file.
