Comment 4 for bug 172392

Even if the client disconnects properly the server process will likely be left running on the other side. As it doesn't have any idea that the client has disconnected. It will continue trying to grab the lock. Only once the lock is obtained would it respond to the client and find out that it had disconnected.

So bug 141172 may have been prompted because of this bug, but fixing it will not fix this bug.
