I upgraded from Linux '91 to '95 and I get the following messages when
starting up:

kernel: fcntl_setlk() called by process 55 with broken flock() emulation
kernel: fcntl_setlk() called by process 56 with broken flock() emulation
kernel: fcntl_setlk() called by process 57 with broken flock() emulation
kernel: fcntl_setlk() called by process 67 with broken flock() emulation

The processes are:
bash# ps -l 55
F UID PID PPID PRI NI SIZE RSS WCHAN STAT TTY TIME COMMAND
100140 0 55 1 30 15 864 28 do_select S N ? 0:00 (lpd)
bash# ps -l 56

bash# ps -l 57

bash# ps -l 67
F UID PID PPID PRI NI SIZE RSS WCHAN STAT TTY TIME COMMAND
100 203 67 1 30 15 1180 288 sigsuspen S N v01 0:00 -bash

I'm using an old a.out system with
libc.so.4 (DLL Jump 4.5pl26) => /lib/libc.so.4.5.26

Is the parameter that is used in the system call obsolete now? Then it should
go into Documentation/Changes...
