When reprepro crashes, the database lock file is not released, because the lock
file still exists on the system. A patch is attached that changes the locking
system to use fcntl() to lock the database lockfile instead of open with O_EXCL.
With this change, the lock is correctly released in case of the reprepro process
is crashing.

That is currently intentional (at least as long as using bdb).
Once reprepro crashes it is likely that bdb just corruptet itself, so
one needs a check of the database, anyway. So it is nothing I want to
just step over. (Perhaps the error message if there is already a lock
file should be made a bit scarier).
