Hello,

I try to comiple an run the distcc package - but I get errors while running.
I figured out, tha the problems are the fcntl() calls - perhaps
ther is a bug in cygwin?
The following code runs differently in cygwin and linux.
If I want ro lock the whole file twice, but still the same process, I will
get an "permission denied" error on cygwin.
The same code works on linux!

===> Cygwin console
    heiko AT HEIKO ~/src/fslock
    $ ./fslocktest
    Lock 1
    Lock 2
    lock failed: fslocktest.txt: Permission denied

===> linux console
    heiko AT linux:~/src/fslock> ./fslocktest
    Lock 1
    Lock 2

Below is the code to reproduce the error.

I'm using the following software:
- Windows XP Professional Ver 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1
  CYGWIN=ntsec
- Cygwin DLL version info:
     DLL version: 1.3.18
     DLL epoch: 19
     DLL bad signal mask: 19005
     DLL old termios: 5
     DLL malloc env: 28
     API major: 0
     API minor: 69
     Shared data: 3
     DLL identifier: cygwin1
     Mount registry: 2
     Cygnus registry name: Cygnus Solutions
     Cygwin registry name: Cygwin
     Program options name: Program Options
     Cygwin mount registry name: mounts v2
     Cygdrive flags: cygdrive flags
     Cygdrive prefix: cygdrive prefix
     Cygdrive default prefix:
     Build date: Wed Dec 25 15:37:50 EST 2002
     Shared id: cygwin1S3
- Linux: Suse 8.1

Perhaps someone can give me a hint ...

Best regards
  Heiko Elger
