Subject: epoch/2 bug in filelock.rb?

Hi!

With epoch/2 some program of mine without any change applied to the
source that makes use of locks suddenly started to no longer remove
the locks. Replacing

        FileLock::LockedFile.open(mbox, "a") {|fp|
by
        File.open(mbox, "a") {|fp|

makes everything (except the locks of course) work again. Presently
using that insecure mode :-|

Bug in filelock.rb (VERSION = 0.2) or problem with my stone-old Linux
kernel (2.0.30, yes, really :-)?

I am presently using ruby 1.8.0 (2003-08-04) [i586-linux].
