/*----- Revision history --------------------------------------------------*
 *
 * $Log: lock.c,v $
 * Revision 1.5  1999/06/19 20:35:45  mdw
 * Whoops.  I'd left the type of the jump buffer as `sigjmp_buf'.
 *
 * Revision 1.4  1999/06/19 20:33:16  mdw
 * More sophisticated and excessive signal and alarm handling.
 *
 * Revision 1.3  1999/06/06 01:23:00  mdw
 * Fix signal handling.
 *
 * Revision 1.2  1999/05/26 20:53:40  mdw
 * Fixes for stupid bugs.
 *
 * Revision 1.1  1999/05/15 10:33:53  mdw
 * Add simplified locking code.
