It is, and that should tell you something about how useless chattr is when
you don't have the machine setup to use it ;) So don't play with it, if
you had managed to get it to work you would be in real trouble, as a
machine setup to use immutable file attributes will not let even root turn
them off again, that's the ENTIRE point of them ;)
As Taco posted, you probably just crashed the perl script and left a dead
lock file in var/lock....
