When a process that locked a lockfile crashes on Windows, sometimes
a new instance of the process fails to lock.
Unfortunately, I can't find a way to reproduce the problem consistently,
but it happens from time to time with Qt Creator and Qbs.
There are several ways to detect a dead process on Windows. Some of
them can be found in stackoverflow[1].
The current implementation of stale lock detection is based on the
second answer (using WaitForSingleObject), but apparently it doesn't
work in 100% of the cases.
The most voted answer[2] (using GetProcessExitCode) proves to work also
on this case.
