Reducing KODRETRY

After the millionth time of making the mistake of running pine and forgetting I already had one suspended in the background, then having to wait seemingly forever (but really only 20secs) for the locking to fail so I could get control back, I decided to finally hunt this chunk of code down to see if I could shorten this wait. Aparently, it's in imap/src/osdep/unix/unix.c:unix_open(), and mailbox locking is tried KODRETRY=15 times, with 1 second sleep between retries. Is it OK if I reduce this to, say, 1? Would this break imapd which uses the same library, and presumably, unix_open()?
