Dear Tobias,

Is it, really? The policy says:
  ... fcntl() locking must be combined with dot locking. To avoid
  deadlocks, a program should use fcntl() first and dot locking after
  this ...
whereas strace shows:
  link("/var/mail/.lk10336dp639", "/var/mail/psz.lock") = 0
  open("/var/mail/psz", O_WRONLY|O_APPEND) = 4
  fcntl64(4, F_SETLKW, {type=F_WRLCK, whence=SEEK_CUR, start=0, len=0}) = 0
which seems the wrong order.

Thanks, Paul
