Ok that sounds great but I need a clue how to see it.  struct flock
contains an off_t which is 32 bits on narrow (wide too at the moment,
but that will probably change).  Also, struct dirent contains
a 32-bit inode and a __kernel_off_t offset (d_off), which is also
32 bits narrow.  I did see the ... in our fcntl() syscall definition
so I'll go check glibc to see what's happening there.

I wouldn't be so picky except that I need to write
the 32/64 syscall translators for these soon!  Thanks!
