Comment (by hamish):

 there is a good chance that the lock file was created by you on the local
 machine. so perhaps it would be good to also log the lock file creation
 time as an indicator of how stale the file is. (or check file creation
 time if that is portable)

 I am a bit unsure if this should really be targeted for grass 6.4 or only
 go into grass 7. I understand waiting for grass 7 is unpleasant for QGIS,
 but we must protect the stable branch.... if for grass64 we must ensure
 backwards compatibility with other grass 6.[0-3].
