Description
If a lock was _not_ obtained in the lock function, is it desired behavior to sleep (in line 80), even after the last retry?
I think that the last retry's sleep will be a waste of time, if the lock was not obtained.

If my argument holds, how about:
```
for i in 0..(retry_count-1)
# The major part of the lock function goes here.
# Don't sleep if it's the last retry.
if (i != retry_count-1)
# Wait a random part of retry_delay, before retrying.
sleep(rand(@retry_delay).to_f/1000)
end
end
```
