- A claim is honored while its claimant lives; only a claim with no start
identity expires after 2 minutes, so a stalled live taker keeps its lock on
hosts that record identities (the remaining case is a documented limit).
- A late taker never overwrites an owner already in its directory, and does
not remove a directory that has one.
- A lock whose owner file exists but cannot be read is never ownerless.
- Zero-padded owner pids count as dead; --help prints the whole usage;
touch prunes only claims whose claimant is gone or recorded no identity.
