hi,

i noticed that dbm_pagfno() is defined in ndbm.h as
DBM_PAGFNO_NOT_AVAILABLE.  i assume this is because
the new db package does not have .pag files, so it's
hard to get a file no on it.  the code in question,
mh's slocal.c, is trying to lock the .pag file.  can
i safely `comment' this code out?

thanks,
.mrg.
