Hi Greg, I had brought this question up on the modules-dev mailing list a few months ago: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/httpd-modules-dev/201109.mbox/%3CCAOM3y2i3osynN3Rnuvoqyhm1NHBgZTxxnt%2BT0y7nPz9tEpu6AA%40mail.gmail.com%3E Note that it would seem flock falls back to fcntl on some platforms, so using flock will not fix the issue on those platforms. regards, thomas >
