Subjectflock warnings
 Hello, I just joined this mailing list, hopefully someone knows whats wrong:
I just upgraded to kernel 1.3.95 from 1.3.72, with a system that was 
initially slackware 2.something, but now supports compiling in ELF, along 
with other things...  However, after installing 1.3.95 these flock 
warnings started sprouting up on the console coming from all sorts of 
different processes... so thanks to the suggestion of people on #linux of 
irc, I installed libc-5.3.12 and libc-4.7.5 by untarring it into the root 
directory.  That didnt stop any of the flock warnings, so I took another 
person's suggestion and did ldconfig -v and then recompiled the kernel...
 There are still as many flock warnings as before.
 Does anyone know of someone who has managed to get rid of the flock 
warnings and how they did it? (hopefully it didnt take commenting out the 
warning in the kernel)
 Also, what is flock warning about? Is there a real danger that should be 
worried about? 
Thanks for your help,

PS
I looked in the man page and asked on the #linux channel of irc... but 
there doesnt seem to be an option that makes tar overwrite symlinks.. 
it seems like an option that people would want.. I wonder if Im just 
overlooking something..
(however, I did go through all the files that were reported by tar and 
symlinked them correctly)
