Summary: it's ok

If you are running 4.[23] BSd or a system with lockf() you can install it
with no problems.

if you are using links for the file locking, a bit of carelessness on my 
part in integrating several different fixes introduced a potential problem
(potential since all compilers so far have complained about it) with
the unlinking of the lock file.
change
	UNLINK(ACTIVE, bufr)
to 
	UNLINK(bufr)

and you should be safe
