 As of pkgsrc-current, the problem described in this PR still exists
 on MacOS X 10.4.x (PPC).  The proposed workaround is still required
 in order for the configure step to complete.
 
 MacOS X 10.3.9 and 10.2.8 have a lock directory (/var/spool/lock)
 by default, so they do not have this problem.  It may be necessary
 to chown the lock directory to "uucp:dialer" or set the mode to 1777
 before running minicom as an unprivileged user the first time, however.
