Comment(by andrea):

 More wackiness with mandatory locking:

 "To make use of mandatory locks, mandatory locking must be enabled both on
 the file system  that  contains the file to be locked, and on the file
 itself.  Mandatory locking is enabled on a file system using the "-o mand"
 option to mount(8), or the MS_MANDLOCK flag for mount(2).  Mandatory
 locking is enabled on a file by disabling group execute permission on the
 file and enabling the set-group-ID permission bit (see chmod(1) and
 chmod(2))."

 Sheesh...
