Here is what I discovered.

I wrote a small test program that does this:

saLckInitialize
saLckResourceOpen
saLckResourceLock
saLckResourceLockAsync
saLckResourceClose

Both Lock and LockAsync request PR locks, so they will both be
granted. I don't see the LockGrantCallback. But if I put a sleep
before the Close operation, I will get the callback. That is all I
know right now.

Steve, you have any thoughts on this behavior?
