Sounds good me ; )....we'll just wait for your replacement test.

fcntl06 does nothing currently.  If it were enabled, it would check that
the F_RSETLK and F_RGETLK arguments to fcntl() work.  These arguments are
not
documented in the AIX, Solaris or HP-UX manual pages, only in the IRIX
ones.
IRIX says this pair of arguments are for use by NFS lockd and really
doesn't
go into much detail.

Since Linux has a kernel lockd, it seems unlikely that we shall ever add
these fcntls to Linux.  Therefore I propose that fcntl06 be removed.
Lest anyone think that it's a bad thing to leave a gap in the number,
don't worry, I shall provide a new test shortly that tests the case
where l_len is less than zero.
