If that doesn't answer your question, then you might try:

   # tar -xjf patches-3.0-rtx.tar.bz2
   # ls patches/*.patch
   # wc -l patches/*.patch
   # for each patch in patches; do read $patch; done

Not really, they just use different mechanisms. Serialization and
synchronization are not restricted to locks and some of these
mechanisms are even more evil than a plain old lock.
