The main bug here was that with lock_method=dotlock when cache file  
was being compressed, it could have tried to lock the cache file  
again, seeing that the .lock file already exists (created by itself)  
and waiting for it until timeout and then overriding it and causing  
the compression to fail. The OS or filesystem didn't matter.
