    ...but after reading the manuals (HP-UX) we decided not to use it at
    all. It's too easy to get bad deadlocks. We prefer to explicitly
    flock() a file.

    BTW: HP-UX 10.01 says that "Only advisory record locking is
    implemented for NFS files." (That is even the s-bit won't cause
    implicit flock()s; you must do it explicitly). Maybe we can make both
    parties happy.
