It does? Whatever for? [pokes at the code]
My goodness. What an odd choice of locking protocols. Too bad it won't
help if you run ifile on two different computers sharing the same

Creating a lock file would be better here, but this is getting quite
tangential to the original point, and I'll shut up until I've actually
implemented something :)
