Could be... but are you sure? This is a patch to the lockf utility,
not to libc or the kernel...?

I do think that if lockf has this problem there has to be other code
which also has it, but I've found that Linux's NFSv4 implementation
does exactly the same thing so most open-source programs should
already be fixed because Linux requires it also.
