Ick.  Seems like the relevant question is not so much "why did it break"
as "how did it ever manage to work"?

I have no problem with renaming our s_lock, if that's what it takes,
but I'm curious to know why there is a problem now and not before.
We've called that routine s_lock for a *long* time, so it seems
like there must be some factor involved that I don't see just yet...
