sorry - at the end of the function there is a close() method to a
file, after the thread passes the modifications:
try:
os.remove(self.lockfile)
except:
syslog.syslog(syslog.LOG_DEBUG, "Sync error: " + str(sys.exc_info()[1]))
And I think, the "(deleted)" info near the filename in proc/PID/fd
means the lockfile had been deleted.

only 2.5 on that server...
