I think that linux ignores at least the pid field & replaces it with
the pid of the current process.  I haven't looked at the guts of their
flock to see if they ignore len as well.  I think if you zero those 2
fields in linux_to_bsd_flock64, you'll be fine.  

Hopefully, Marcel will have some idea of what the "right" thing to do
here is.
