I agree emphatically with Yuji.  I've always been nervous about what application
was trying to lock byte-ranges.  I've had a few calls from EMSL users with the
same concern.  Seeing those messages also makes me wish for the implementation
of byte-range locking in AFS, sooner rather than later.

        P.S. I wish AFS's console messages were a bit more descriptive, giving
        PIDs and timestamps or at least the identity of the daemon producing the
        message... We get probably a handful of these messages byte-range
locking
        messages a day on several hosts, but we have yet to figure out what
        application is attempting the byte-range locking.  There are several
other
        server console messages that take experimentation and luck to figure out
        what is generating them.   Anybody have a good way to identify these?
