[Bill Sebok] > Aren't special privileges required to access the /var/lock directory?
Well, as the qcam backend only work on Linux and FreeBSD, and require root privileges to access the hw ioports directly, the fact that it need special privileges to create a lock in /var/lock/ should be of less importance. Do both Linux and *BSD use /var/lock/? (The qcam driver is probably obsolete as well. Perhaps it just should be removed? Is there anyone actually using it instead of using the v4l backend instead?)
