Description of problem:
When nano displays a file locking warning the PID shown is incorrect.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nano-2.3.4-5.fc21.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. nano an exising file
2. in another terminal tab, nano the same file
3. Note the PID displayed in the lock warning message
4. in another terminal, do a "pgrep -a nano"

Actual results:
The PID of the first nano does not match the PID displayed in the warning message.
