It would be better to lock all the file, than not to lock
it at all. Gonna dig into it.

I've tested (not too carefully). If I run one dosemu with
threesold 0, and IPX with novell client inside, it worked
but running second dosemu on the same machine (with threesold 0
too) was always causing a crash... 100% cpu usage and only
way to get out was hard reset...
Maybe for one client it's good, but I need 5-10 dosemu per
machine. Anyway - I'll check this out too.
