Summary: Another bug (when LOCKF defined and F_RDLCK is not)

	That bit me too.  For systems that define LOCKF, there is another
	potential problem - a line in inews.c:
struct flock news_lock;
	where the struct flock is undefined.  I presume that this is
	defined on systems where F_RDLCK is also defined (not mine -
	an HP9000s500 running HP-UX - a SVr2 variant), since the
	only place news_lock is subsequently used is between
# ifdef	F_RDLCK
# endif /* !F_RDLCK */
	statements.  The obvious fix is to also #ifdef the offending
	line; thus:

# ifdef	F_RDLCK
struct flock news_lock;
# endif /* !F_RDLCK */

	I do not claim to be knowledgeable about the news software;
	treat my submission accordingly.
