No it doesn't :-) The real solution would be to fix the source of the 
problem. That source is the use of the PHP flock function to do the 
synchronization which has unsolvable issues 
<http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.flock.php> -- That leaves one 
other solution which is to patch phpATM to use some for of reliable 
database. Which means forking even more the phpATM code, which is OK as 
it's GPL. But it's more maintenance for us. Or ultimately finding 
something other than phpATM that works better.
