/*  The purpose of this nonsense is to work around a bad bug in fcntl()
 * locking.  The cretins who designed it decided that a close() should
 * release any locks made by that process on the file opened on that
 * file descriptor.  Never mind that the lock wasn't made on that file
 * descriptor, but rather on some other file descriptor.
 *
 *  This bug is on every implementation of fcntl() locking that I have
 * tested.  Fortunately, on BSD systems and OSF/1, we can use the flock()
 * system call which doesn't have this bug.
 *
 *  On broken systems, we invoke an inferior fork to execute any driver
 * dispatches which are likely to tickle this bug; specifically, any
 * dispatch which may fiddle with a mailbox that is already selected.  As
 * of this writing, these are: delete, rename, status, copy, and append.
 *
 *  Delete and rename are pretty marginal (does anyone really want to
 * deleted or rename the selected mailbox?).  The same is true of status,
 * but there are people who don't understand why status of the selected
 * mailbox is bad news.
 *
 *  However, in copy and append it is reasonable to do this to a selected
 * mailbox.
 *
 *  It is still possible for an application to trigger this bug by doing
 * mail_open() on the same mailbox twice.  Don't do it.
