fcntl() does work on sockets. I've used it.

I was going to wait until I got home before I answered the original
post (my Unix Network Programming books are at home), but I think
you've found the answer. From fcntl(2):
EBADF fd is not an open file descriptor, or the command
was F_SETLK or F_SETLKW and the file descriptor
open mode doesn't match with the type of lock
requested.

Trying to do *anything* industrial-strength on a NT platform is doomed to
failure - it's like the realisation that you've been allocated a bunk-space
below a confirmed bedwetter. The question is not whether you are going to
get pissed on, but when. -- Tanuki
