I'm possibly confused, but I thought that the design of parallel query
involved an expectation that workers didn't need to get their own locks.
What we've determined so far in this thread is that workers *do* get
their own locks (or did before yesterday), but I'd been supposing that
that was accidental not intentional.

In any case, I definitely intend that they will be getting their own
locks again after the dust has settled. Panic not.
