Question about V1.93, majordomo and config_parse.pl's direct call to shlock rtn.

[zielonko @ ucx . lkg . dec . com (Karol Zielonko 508-486-5632)]

Hello,

In the majordomo script (do_newconfig routine) and the config_parse.pl code
(get_config routine) direct calls to the shlock routine are made. In both cases
the calls don't check the return status to see if the lock was granted so that
it can keep trying to get the lock (like lopen does). Can anyone tell me why
this is?
