Thank you for the review Eli.  I've incorporated your feedback in the
attached patches.

I made the warning message even more terse than you suggested because
before doing so the warnings looked like this:

    Warning (unlock-file): Error unlocking file Unlocking file:
    Permission denied, /tmp/inaccessible/foo, ignored [Disable showing]
    [Disable logging]

...which says "unlock file" too many times.  With the current patch it
is a little bit better:

    Warning (unlock-file): Unlocking file: Permission denied,
    /tmp/inaccessible/foo, ignored [Disable showing] [Disable logging]

The "Unlocking file: Permission denied, /tmp/inaccessible/foo" is a form
all `file-error' conditions have.  Most relevant here is the "Unlocking
file" prefix, which the C level API that generates these errors makes
difficult to omit.
