It should be released when the service process finishes what it is doing. If it is being released only when it exits, something is wrong, no?
No, a lock (a locker to be more precise) is released when the process exits. You will get a locker leak if you manually kill the process. I suppose this is a bug.
A service child can serve more than one request in its lifetime... and it could be sitting idle between requests.
True, and the process will hold a locker (maybe more, depending on how many database files the process needs to open) during its lifetime.
