Hello Heiko,

Thanks for investigating this, and for the patch.

Please, when you send patches to software, generate them with the -u
option to diff.  This includes some context in the patch that allows
it to be merged more reliably and easily, even if the source has
changed since you wrote the patch.

I thought recursive locks would probably be the problem.  It might be
cleaner to change distcc to avoid ever locking a single file twice.
That should not require major changes and will make Cygwin work with
no need for Windows-specific code.

Regards
