+One of possible reasons while Create may fail on Unix is that the lock file
+used for checking already exists but was not created by the user.
+Therefore applications shouldn't treat failure of this function as fatal
+condition, because doing so would open them to the possibility of a Denial of
+Service attack. Instead, they should alert the user about the problem and
+offer to continue execution without checking if another instance is running.
