[Bug 399241] [NEW] mnemosyne locking is not atomic

[Robert Collins]

Public bug reported:

 affects ubuntu/mnemosyne
 done

in mnemosyne.core's initialise function:

    lockfile = file(join(basedir,"MNEMOSYNE_LOCK"),'w')

This doesn't actually do a mutex lock, so its possible for two copies of
mnemosyne (or other things using the library) to bypass the protection
its meant to provide.
