Trying to summarize what I saw here today.  Is this true:

--Lock server is installed / service set to automatic with server components
--Lock Server is not enabled automatically
--To enable {instructions in prev message}
--Lock server purpose is to ensure dangling locks are cleaned up

Does it do anything more than that?  Is there other relevant things to the
lock server?  I didn't see a lot on it in the docs, but then I wasn't
looking too closely either.

Once the particular server instance dies then the lock server cleans up
automatically, so even in the case of a crash you won't get any locks left
over.

Conceivably a server could hang with its locks open, but I've never actually
seen that happen.
