[Bug 249620] Re: dash does not support multi-digit file descriptors

 

Upstream seems to have said no fix is planned: http://www.mail-
archive.com/dash@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg00200.html

Furthermore, I have tried this command in various other shells and it
does not work in zsh, ksh93 and mksh either. (ksh93 has a different,
incompatible way to use fds greater than 9.)

Therefore, what should be fixed is the man page of flock. The file
descriptor should be 9, for example.
