If you look in Documentation/Changes, I'm trying to keep up with everything that's changing in the kernel, breaking stuff ;-). If anyone has suggestions, comments, advice, spelling flames (*grin*), etc., just send them my way.
In this case, read the section on libc. The flock system call was changed in 1.3.x, and it breaks with older libc's. Just upgrade to 5.2.18, recompile any old static bins you might have that were linked against the old libc and that might call flock (stuff like agetty), and you should be all set.
later, chris
PS. Hey Linus, just when can we expect to see that promised ESP-driver in the kernel? Obviously, I need it, or I'd already know the answer to this question ;-)
