Except for dynamic registration right?
No, Peter fixed that

This patch adds a ``-x'' flag to ftpd, which instructs ftpd to obtain

So fstat(1) doesn't show you that the file is opened to ftpd?
No, it does indeed show that.
You really have to lock the files to help you with this problem?
It seems a more natural solution to me than grepping for ftpd in fstat's
output regarding the file. Also, I think that approach

Then use fstat. :-)

OK, OK :)
I think you've developed a complex solution to a more simply solved
problem. UNIX offers you lots of little tools for good reason. Adding

Yeah, in fact it does, it uses lockf ;-p
Let me take a step back. I'm not saying that what you're doing to ftpd
is wrong.

I'm in the anti-bloat camp, and I agree with this sentiment.
What would be more interesting, I think, is investigating the use of
locking by default. One wonders what it'd break, and how we'd work
around it. ;-)

That's great news! So have you gotten rid of some of these absurdly
low fixed limits?
I'm a Sound Blaster Live! user and will be glad to
be an Alpha tester for a driver if someone or some group is working on porting
the driver from Linux, since it is now opensource.

Jason tells me you have my card which exhibited exactly this symptom with
a pc164 two years ago, though it worked in an x86 box.
Isn't that the the one now without a BIOS? That's the old 1020 PCI card,
which Qlogic made maybe 500? It's the only one I have. Did you want
it back?
