Removing "ole locking compat" - Re: CVS update: samba/source/lib

[John E. Malmberg]

I may have a problem with that on OpenVMS.

OpenVMS can not lock a non-existent part of a file through fcntl() emulation
on the native filesystems.  I am compensating for this by having the fcntl()
emulation extend the file if needed in order to do the lock.

Since the documentation indicates that "ole locking compat=yes" is done by
specifying a very large byte offset into the file, this can not be done
under OpenVMS.  It also could be a problem to work around or an easy,
depending on what you are doing.
