mtools

[Jose Alburquerque <root%becky.smartec.com@localhost>]

I know this may sound stupid, but has anyone gotten mtools (2.0.7 or 3.0)
to run successfully on NetBSD1.2?  I've tried compiling both versions, but
there seem to be problems on writes.  mdir, mtype, mread, and all the
reading operations work, but writing becomes a problem.  I looked at the
source code and it appears to be having trouble establishing locks.  I
noticed it uses flock to try to lock /dev/fd0b (once having gotten a file
descriptor using open, of course).  Any hints?
