Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: inotify-tools

Using inotifywait waiting for a lock-file will wait for ever.

Window one:
$ inotifywait -e delete_self /tmp/foo
Setting up watches.  
Watches established.

Window two: 
aw@server1:~$ touch /tmp/foo  # has to be done before starting inotifywait in 
window one
aw@server1:~$ rm /tmp/foo
(nothing happens, inotify will hang for ever)

=====

The same thing using event delete:
aw@server1:/tmp$ inotifywait -e delete /tmp
Setting up watches.  
Watches established.
/tmp/ DELETE foo

The event fires
