Hi:

In the next security updates as well in openSUSE factory PHP no longer
release the lock of previously locked files, neither automagically at
shutdown nor at stream closing so (broken) code like:

<?php

$fp = fopen('foo.txt','wb');
flock($fp, LOCK_EX);
/* write or do whatever with the locked file... */
fclose($fp);
?>

Will no longer "unlock" the file in question.

This is an upstream change to provide a sane/correct behaviour from now
on but it might cause subtle issues.

So, you have to explicetely flock($fp,LOCK_UN); before closing the file.


Just keep an eye on this.

Cheers.
Cristian.
