->Some people have been experiencing problems with F_SETLKW64/fcntl
-when running samba on solaris. The built in file locking mechanism was
-not scalable. Performance would degrade to the point where processes would
-get into loops of trying to lock a file. It woul try a lock, then fail,
-then try again. The lock attempt was failing before the grant was
-occurring. So the visible manifestation of this would be a handful of
-processes stealing all of the CPU, and when they were trussed they would
-be stuck if F_SETLKW64 loops.</P
