Hi,

It seems the -La option for fixhdr(C) does not work
for binaries compiled with the 2.2 development system.

This option is supposed to make binaries use 
advisory file locking when executed on a 2.3 kernel.
(see the 2.3.1 Run Time release notes, page 38).

The only binaries using advisory file locking, as far as I could
see, are those compiled on a Unix V/386 system.

Is this a bug in fixhdr(C), or will I have to wait (about 2 or 3 months,
according to our distributor) for the 2.3 development system?
