Hmm. Now that you mention it, didn't we solve a similar problem by
exploiting the behavior where CreateProcess creates a process but
doesn't start it running? I'm envisioning
* Create child process in suspended state
* Assign it ownership of a lock (can we do that?)
* Set it running
Not sure, but the SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES argument to CreateFile has a
bInheritHandle member that specifies whether a child process can inherit
the fiel HANDLE. I'm not sure if that would include locks on the file
HANDLE.
