Previously, we were putting an exclusive lock to prevent secondary
processes spinning up while we are sending our messages. However,
using exclusive locks had an effect of disallowing multiple
simultaenous unrelated messages/requests being sent, which was
not the intention behind locking.
Fix it to put a shared lock on the directory. That way, we still
prevent secondary process initializations while sending data over
IPC, but allow multiple unrelated transmissions to proceed.
