That may be incorrect, but it was deliberate. Most error messages
indicate problems that can not be handled programatically. A few can
be. They include deadlocks and duplicates. The error handling for
deadlocks and
lock conflicts is identical, so the primary message returned is
"deadlock". The secondary error explains that it is a special case of
deadlock. We were trying to reduce the complexity of writing error
handling code.
