Hi Ken,
Well, it's just as complicated as it needs to be. The issue is that
the sequences files and context files get modified a lot, so those
need to be locked.
Out of interest, what form of locking does nmh use? It looks like hard
links to ~/mail/inbox/.mh_sequences.lock for one of them. Is it
consistent in the method used everywhere, or does it mix in lockf,
flock, fcntl, etc., for other resources?
Cheers, Ralph.
