Same error here!!
I have installed 1.3.95 in two machines
a) ELF system. gcc 2.7.2.f.1 (g77 patched) libc-5.3.9
No problem at all
b) a.out system gcc 2.7.2.f.1 (g77 patched) libc-4.7.5
fcntl_setlk() called by .... a lot of these :-(

agetty was one of these processes. Take the source, compile them
and fcntl_set disapeared :-)
But bash, lpd and ypserv (yes, it's a NFS server) are triggering the same
error :-( (now I'm compiling bash).
Is it just a kernel problem or are the apps.?
TIA
