fcntl always fails to delete lock file, and PID is always -6464

Just my mystery is as follow:

Windows 1:
% ./test_fcntl 
My pid: 43490

Windows 2:
% ls -l /tmp/lockfile 
-r-sr-x---  1 daichi  wheel  0 10月  5 15:02 /tmp/lockfile    <--- is it weird, isn't it?
% ./test_fcntl 
test_fcntl: open: Permission denied
% 

Oops... What's wrong... /tmp is as follow:

% mount | grep tmp
/dev/ada0s1f on /tmp (ufs, local, noatime, soft-updates)
% dumpfs /tmp | grep journal   
flags	soft-updates+journal 
% 

And working scene: 

Windows 2:
% chmod u+w /tmp/lockfile
% ls -l /tmp/lockfile
-rwsr-x---  1 daichi  wheel  0 10月  5 15:22 /tmp/lockfile
% ./test_fcntl 
My pid: 43646
test_fcntl: fcntl[1]: Resource temporarily unavailable
PID=43490 has the lock
