EACCESS should be EACCES (only one S) and is in <sys/errno.h>, which
should automatically be included by <errno.h>.  That definition you're
using means nothing useful and could result in file locking errors.
There is a typo in lock.c ... :-(

} only other change I made was to include /usr/include/sys/select.h

Good catch.

This is a permissions problem; someone more familiar with it will have
to answer.  However, patch 3 (which will hopefully be small and quick)
will include an alternate compilation for SCO's MMDF to avoid submit.
