Right, only that for a correct flock() emulation you'd also have to hold

packed into a macro or subroutine.
In this precise context however, and without wiping cleaner than clean:
why spend yet another system call on something that nobody cares about.
Or we could just use the nice, sane, _portable_, fcntl() instead and avoid
all of these problems...
