>Organization:
Kenneth Ingham Consulting, LLC
>Environment:
FreeBSD 4.2 Stable manual page for fcntl(2).
>Description:
fcntl(2) does not mention what happens to locks when a process does an
exec.
>How-To-Repeat:
read fcntl(2)
>Fix:
Add the following paragraph:
Locks obtained before an exec remain in effect until the new
program releases them. If the new program does not know about
the locks, they will not be released until the program exits.
