Changed createEmptyTmpFile to use the 'wx' flag when writing the lock file, which fails if the file already exists. Added error handling to catch and ignore EEXIST errors, allowing the lock mechanism to work correctly when the lock file already exists from a previous operation.
This prevents race conditions and improves robustness of the file locking mechanism by properly handling the case where multiple processes or sequential calls attempt to create the same lock file.
