I tried all three variants, but it seems to be close to impossible to
re-create then. I had a single fail when using only the trylock
variant, but I wouldn't say that means anything.

Only if all three variants run in parallel it seems to be quite
reliably reproducible, even though sometimes it still takes an hour.
