Yes, I known about the readLockTimeout option. The problem with this option
is that by a) default it waits forever and b) while it waits for one file it
does not process others. That's what made me spend 2 days wondering about
the behavior described in the thread almost without clues, and it will made
others.

As is pretty well explained in the "Release It" book, infinite waits are
bad. Infinite waits by default are very bad, especially in integration
software - it virtually guarantees that at least one will slip into your
live system, then it's just a matter of time until it blocks critical
function or critical amount of resources - and you're waken in the middle of
the night to deal with it.

What do you think?
