If /bin/mail uses fcnt, but the user *can't* use fcntl, both the user or
the system should be taken out back and shot.  A system where the
system-provided mail facility uses a locking scheme not available to the
user is just too broken to live.

And the user who chose such a broken system is just too stupid to live.

(Sorry, am in a cranky mood today, I've spent far too much of my $DAYJOB
lately fighting with too-broken-to-live software packages...)
