I use this patch regularly and haven't have it break on me. Posting on -hackers got me referred to -standards, -standards wasn't interested because it's not standard (it's an extension). So basically, nobody uses it, nobody is interested it, and I get the feeling it'll never be committed. I've already gotten over my bitterness on the point, so if you want to mark it closed or whatever, that's fine... I don't plan on pursuing it any further as feature advocacy isn't a hobby of mine. Referring it to whomever is going to be handling (or is handling?) the upcoming file locking overhaul would be nice. flock() semantics with record locking is something that IMHO *nix desperately needs.
