It _didn't_ work. In 1.5, you ended up creating a copy, which meant there was no locking after all. If zsh then depended on that attempt at locking working, you would have gotten into inconsistent states. Your best bet now might be to report this as an upstream bug to zsh, and recommend that they use an alternative approach, such as symlink locking (the way emacs does things), if hard link locking doesn't work because of the underlying file system. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
