I see.  I hadn't noticed that hostname got truncated.  But nevertheless,
the snprintf was failing on my Mac, and increasing the FILENAME_SIZE
eliminated the failure and allowed the locking to function.

I think I may see the problem.  The %4x number isn't limited to take only 4
characters--it takes a minimum of four characters, so on systems with a
long hostname and large process IDs the lock would fail.
