18.13 Compiling procmail and locking scheme [pm-tips.txt]
[stephen] Everything except dot locking is broken usually. Remove
fcntl() and lockf(), only allow flock() (or omit it completely) Kernel
locks don't work. But that's all some programs use. Across a networked
filesystem, lockf() doesn't work, fcntl() and flock() should, but they
don't either because the lockd is buggy. Mailtool uses fcntl() but
does it wrong, so that's another problem. The only thing that works on
all platforms, all networks, all the time are .lock files.
