fcntl(f, F_SETLK, &fl) problem on Cygwin 1.1.8(0.34/3/2)

[schilling at fokus dot gmd dot de]

It seems that a write lock on a file hold by a process
inhibits read access from the same process:

This piece of code in my editor (ved) 

        struct flock fl; 
        int     ret; 
 
        fl.l_whence = 0; 
        fl.l_start = 0; 
        fl.l_len = 0; 
        fl.l_type = 0; 
 
        fl.l_type |= F_WRLCK; 
         
        ret = fcntl(f, F_SETLK, &fl); 
        return (ret); 

Causes the problem:

 305  533760 [main] ved 1966225 _open: 4 = open (limit.c, 0x2)^M 
  457  534217 [main] ved 1966225 _fcntl: 0 = fcntl (4, 8, 0x255DC0C)^M

looks OK, but later...
