Hmm, lockfile-create is really a very simple wrapper around a call to
lockfile_create(1), and offhand, I don't see any obvious way the
arguments being passed could be causing an EOVERFLOW.

Offhand, I wonder if it's the liblockfile version difference.  From a
quick glance I see some upstream commits involving EOVERFLOW.
If you can still reproduce the problem, you might be able to verify that
by testing with dotlock instead of lockfile-create.

Thanks
