Actually, the problem is probably that simpletext opens the file,
attempts to delete the file, which should fail, since the file is
open. However, on some systems, the delete will actually succeed.
There's code in the delete area that tries to set locks, but not all
Unix systems uniformly implement locks, so...
umm, setting locks will only work if the program has opened the file
with the appropriate permissions. i just went over the spec, and the
proper thing to do is to search the ofork list and make sure delete
operations don't work for anything on that list due to unix' complete
willingness to delete open files. i'll add a patch for that.
