reassign 684645 sendmail-bin 8.14.4-2.1
thanks
Hmm... comparing with an strace of /usr/bin/bsd-mailx, shows that mailx
uses liblockfile and does:
open("/var/mail/psz", O_RDWR) = 3
fcntl64(3, F_SETLKW, {type=F_WRLCK, whence=SEEK_CUR, start=0, len=0}) = 0
link("/var/mail/.lk128035p639", "/var/mail/psz.lock") = 0
in the "right" order. This suggests that liblockfile is fine.
I thus suppose that mail.local only "pretends" to use liblockfile and
maillock(), but that in fact it does its own locking, this bug being
entirely in the sendmail-bin sources. - Such "pretence" was noted
previously, in the initial report of http://bugs.debian.org/648941 .
Cheers, Paul
