Ah, thanks for pointing that out (I guess I was searching within src/).
I suppose it can stay, although I'm not sure that it's very useful.
Legal Question: the #ifdef USER_LOCKS code is only useful in conjunction
with the contrib/userlock module, which is GPL'd. Would that mean that
part of the backend "depends" upon GPL'd software in order to operate?
I have no idea what the answer is, just curious...
Cheers,
Neil
