/offlineimap/head: changeset 455

Raise an exception when the status area is locked. This will cause UIs
to go through their normal exception handling code. In particular, for
the Curses.Blinkenlights interface, the Curses module will be stopped
and the error message will be printed on the console. Previously, this
error message would not have been visible. Closes: #185709.
