Ok - how did you fix the problem with multiple fd's
onto a single file causing POSIX locks to be broken
once one of them is closed ? I know the POSIX mapping
isn't added yet, but it's on my list of things to add
to HEAD once 2.0.7 ships.

Please don't tell me you ignored it :-). I invented
the fd multiplexing just to fix that specific bug (that
was biting a *lot* of people at the time - mysterious
locking problems if you remember.... :-).
