I would like to recommend the following fix, in checkbatch(), ifuncs.c.
It's harmless on most machines, but on those machines that enforce
implicit locking (Apollo is the one I use, but I know there are others
as well) it's necessary.  The idea is to close the active file before
unpacking a batch, so it can be relocked for each individual article of
the batch.
