Also note that many systems emulate flock() with fcntl() locks, so that
trick is nonportable anyway. (Linux used to do that, but stopped; unless
you're holding onto a system with a pre-2.0 kernel or a weird Linux
distribution whose glibc has been modified to do emulation, you should have
real flock().)
