Re: locking in smsd

[alonso acuña]

If I delete the lockfile then gnokii continues to work properly even
with smsd running. I suppose if by chance they both try to do
something at the same time then that would cause trouble. It would be
better if smsd or libgnokii placed the lock only when really using the
phone.
