Like many others, I get errors from 1.3.95 in a single vein:

Starting daemons: syslogd klogd portmap inetd lpd
fcntl_setlk() called by process 70 with broken flock() emulation
fcntl_setlk() called by process 71 with broken flock() emulation
Starting sendmail daemon (/usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -q 15m)...
Running gpm...
fcntl_setlk() called by process 83 with broken flock() emulation
fcntl_setlk() called by process 82 with broken flock() emulation
fcntl_setlk() called by process 78 with broken flock() emulation
fcntl_setlk() called by process 80 with broken flock() emulation
fcntl_setlk() called by process 77 with broken flock() emulation
fcntl_setlk() called by process 79 with broken flock() emulation
fcntl_setlk() called by process 81 with broken flock() emulation

Welcome to Linux 1.3.95.

tangiers login: myname
No utmp entry. You must exec "login" from the lowest level "sh"
fcntl_setlk() called by process 85 with broken flock() emulation

I get these almost every time I run something big. Has anyone else fixed
this? How? Will later versions fix this?

The utmp thing is different. All I have to do is try again and it lets
me in without the error the next time.

Thanks in advance...
