Yes, although I'd prefer something as descriptive but shorter than
'_2nd_instance_lockout'. Perhaps something like 'Running'.

Note to the EvilMiniFAQBoss: Please, please, please can the example not use
C-style spacing as shown above. Its much more readable to have

    Uppercase (ExtractFileName (Application.ExeName) + '. . .

It also lets browsers wrap things more easily.
