This behavior change is caused by switching from the ra_neon to the ra_serf
library; not a specific behavior change.
I fixed this behavior in serf on trunk and nominated the patch for 1.8.9,
but for the time being I would recommend checking for lock and lock->token,
to see if it is realy valid.
The token is what makes a lock 'a lock', if that value is NULL it is clearly
not a lock.
