Well, there is a problem. If the configure script detects that the  
user group used for locking files does not exist, it first enables  
locking then disables the creation of the directory where the locking  
files should appear. The intention was to disable locking when the  
group does not exist. If have fixed it in CVS. New binary packages  
for MacOS X have been created and are available at http://
