I've applied your patch.  The snapshot is ready.

I had to change the strings.  Please don't use concatenation in
user-visible strings - different languages use different word order.
Also, "file locked by %s" is hard to translate because the translator
doesn't know if %s is a username or PID.  "by" could translate
differently.  Ideally, mc should show all the data separately - host, user
and PID (and maybe timestamp).

One bug that needs to be fixed - if I use Enter to modify the file and I
get a "file locked" message, the old current line is not repainted.  Try
it to see what I mean.
