fcntl always fails to delete lock file, and PID is always -6464

    The permissions look ok from my perspective, but the umask is
different, so you might want to try my umask to make sure that your
results match mine (and we need to check the requirements to determine
whether or not the behavior for FreeBSD's umask syscall is correct):

$ ls -la /tmp/ | head -n 2
total 462686
drwxrwxrwt  51 root     wheel         11776 Oct  5 03:11 .
$ umask
0022

    Where and how is /tmp mounted (is it a real partition, what
filesystem, etc)?
    BTW, when I change my umask to match your's I don't get the same
results you do on my home machine:

Window 1:

$ umask 022
$ ./test_fcntl
My pid: 17353

Window 2:

$ ./test_fcntl
My pid: 17356
test_fcntl: fcntl[1]: Resource temporarily unavailable
PID=17353 has the lock
$ ls -l /tmp/lockfile
-rwSr-----  1 gcooper  wheel  0 Oct  5 07:49 /tmp/lockfile

    Just to note, the tests before were run on the RHEL 4.8 box with
the following info, and the FreeBSD box with the following info:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 8)
Linux sjc-lds-102 2.6.9-89.0.11.ELsmp #1 SMP Mon Aug 31 11:00:34 EDT

garrcoop at bioshock.cisco.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/BIOSHOCK  amd64

    The tests above were run on a FreeBSD box with the following info:

FreeBSD bayonetta.local 9.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT #9 r211309M:

    On bayonetta /tmp is SUJ backed (probably should change that
though), and on bioshock it's not SUJ backed.
Thanks!
