Same thing I suggested, only I think he was really using fcntl(), not flock()? My patch wasn't integral to the library (it was more of a hack), and my default time was 1S, not 100uS. Same non-FIFO request ordering, too. 8-(. I guess the real question is what is an fcntl()/flock() supposed to do on a blocking call against a non-blocking fd? I could not tell, so I punted. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
