Re: using signal(2) with locks
>From dsp.dove@MIT-SPEECH@MIT-MC Tue Aug 18 12:43:34 1981
Keep in mind that if 2 procs delete the lock file, only one can
relink it due to the interlocking effect originally mentioned by
Bill Joy.  Thus one, when it was unable to link to the lock file
will exit.

Any other problems?
