I noticed this when compiling the port of popa3d on 6.1:

/*
  * Locking method your system uses for user mailboxes.  It is important
  * that you set this correctly.
  *
  * *BSDs use flock(2), others typically use fcntl(2).
  */
#define LOCK_FCNTL                      1
#define LOCK_FLOCK                      0


..why are we using 'fcntl' when the messages saus for *BSDs use 'flock' ?

Anyone have any idea?
