Points well made, and I strongly agree with Vlastimil and Sasha. There is a world of difference between a lock wanted and a lock held, and for the display of locks "held" to conceal that difference is unhelpful. It just needs one greppable word to distinguish the cases. (Though I didn't find "The call trace is very clear on it that its not", I thought it too was telling me that the lock was already held somehow.)
