another "commit" or "commit confirmed <timeout>" after around
the <timeout> minutes, in race condition, a rollback might be
hit. At last, it may cause the mgd process to enter and to stay

Problem If "commit confirmed <timeout>" is executed, after around the

<timeout> minutes, issuing another "commit" or "commit confirmed
<timeout>", rollback might be hit in race condition. This issue
may cause the mgd process to enter and to stay in lockf status.
Hence, the user might not enter configure mode anymore.
For example, "commit confirmed 1" is executed, after around 1
minute 5 seconds, issuing another commit command, this issue may
be hit.

When this issue occurs, the following warning might be seen:

# commit confirmed will be rolled back in less than x minute

And later the mgd is not responding:

"Retry connection attempts ? [yes,no] (yes) could not open user
interface connection: management daemon not responding"

This issue can be identified through the following command:

user@device> show system processes extensive | match mgd
