 * Test locking with FileChannel. Run one copy of this code with arguments
 * "-w /tmp/locktest.dat" and one or more copies with "-r /tmp/locktest.dat" to
 * see the interactions of exclusive and shared locks. Note how too many readers
 * can starve out the writer. Note: The filename you provide will be
 * overwritten. Substitute an appropriate temp filename for your favorite OS.
