Yes you are correct and I'm an idiot :-). I was remembering the
original code I wrote which insisted on an oplocked file.

However, looking at the source code I find...

#if defined(WITH_SENDFILE)
        /*
         * We can only use sendfile on a non-chained packet
         * but we can use on a non-oplocked file. tridge proved this
         * on a train in Germany :-). JRA.
         */

Never trust a developer, trust the source code :-).

Thanks,

Jeremy.
