 Larry,

 Lsof is only supported on FreeBSD 4.9, 7.0 and above.  That's
 in the 4.79 documentation and it's because I can't test lsof
 on older FreeBSD versions.

 Yes, it looks like the locking changes that affected 7.0 and
 above have been back ported to 6.3-STABLE.  That will require
 a change to the lsof Configure script to detect the locking
 changes for FreeBSD versions earlier than 7.0.
 
 I have CC'd the PR author so he understands the situation and
 to see if he's willing to test the change.  I will delay making
 it until I hear that the can test it and can include it with
 the latest locking changes I have been assembling.
