Ok, I did this, and it actually works considerably better than the SysV shared memory. However flock() has the same problem as the SysV semaphores, where they block the entire process, allowing the same deadlock situation to occur. Has this flock() behavior changed in CURRENT? It seems like this behavior is much more likely to change than the SysV code. Thanks!
