Yeah, I wouldn't want one per second. Do we already track how long
we've been waiting? Easy enough to % off that if we do, or just have a
local boolean variable of "have we printed the wait-on-lock notice yet?"
and only print it once when we first drop into the timeout function.
I really was thinking it'd only be printed once since I expect this to
be going to an interactive session where someone's going to notice a
'NOTICE' being sent. I could maybe see another message when we actually
aquire the lock being sent if we've sent the 'wait-on-lock' message.
Thanks,
Stephen
