Is that a DragonFlyBSD issue? On FreeBSD seem to be compatible (both according to manual page and practical testing). Using flock to synchronize on the dup()d / fork()d queue file descriptor doesnŽt work in this case due to the semantics of flock. In any case, IŽm sorry that I cannot test / respond again for 3 weeks since IŽm abroad, far away from keyboard. -- Daniel Roethlisberger http://daniel.roe.ch/
