| Description | Implements fcntl(2) locking. no more perm_lock errors |
| If you run a server, then you know of the somewhat annoying perm_lock errors that creep up, requiring your attention before anyone else can start a game.
This patch properly implements fcntl(2) locking on systems that can handle it (*nix systems), that results in the lock being automatically released on program termination, whether abnormal or not. v1.0: original patch by Drew Streib <dtype@alt.org> v1.0.1: fixed some warnings related to unused variables and some cosmetic things (reverted some indentations to make less changes in the source) - Edoardo Spadolini | |

| Not to mention that the previous patch was for NetHack 3.4.2, and only applied with some fuzzying.[Quote] | ||
