Tell your vendor to rebuild the package with fcntl locking. nmh uses dot
locking by default, which is pretty brain dead. Here is the option they
should give configure:
--with-locking=fcntl
So the question becomes, is there a reason we shouldn't fix configure to
use fcntl locking by default, and only fall back to dot locking if fcntl
locking isn't available?
