If I'm understanding the logic here and in locks_conflict correctly,
you're telling me that in the case where sys_fl is a read lock, and
caller_fl is a write lock, then any lock which conflicts with sys_fl
must conflict with caller_fl?  Or do I have that backwards?  It doesn't
sound right, in any case.
