What if the user doesn't want to/can't use fcntl, and that's what /bin/mail uses, and the user removes it in favor of something else?
If /bin/mail uses fcnt, but the user *can't* use fcntl, both the user or the system should be taken out back and shot. A system where the system-provided mail facility uses a locking scheme not available to the user is just too broken to live. And the user who chose such a broken system is just too stupid to live. (Sorry, am in a cranky mood today, I've spent far too much of my $DAYJOB lately fighting with too-broken-to-live software packages...)
