The irony is that after saying oooh I've never seen a problem, what did I run into with some of my test code, but a problem clearly attributable to flock() and fcntl() locks blocking each other when they shouldn't.

(Still haven't had a problem that's affected real life -- this was just test code -- but still, thanks, Lennart, I'd have spent ages hunting for the cause of *that* one if it hadn't been for our recent discussion! :) )
