    If I do C-X C-F, and while it is waiting in the NET WAIT state I hit [ABORT],
    then retry the C-X C-F, it claims that some lock is already locked by the process
    (the contents of the lock is a window, and so is the new value).
    Evidently the locking is not properly UNWIND-PROTECTed?
The editor uses the normal filesystem interface, it has no locks of its own.
Are you sure the lock contents were a window, and not a process, such as
#<PROCESS ZMACS-WINDOW-PROCESS 105>?
