[TYPO3-english] Locks? What is the concept? and why are they hurting my site?

[Morten Kjems]

If it is any of those it must be: http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=16749

My problem is that the lockfiles don't get deleted not that Typo3 tries to 
delete non existing lockfiles.

My version is Typo3 4.4.0

Could I safely apply the patch?
