Hello,
I don't understand why locking is absolutely necessary.
I am speaking for the 1.9.19 version.

Only "fetchnews" (and "texpire") modify the groupinfo file...
Also only one instance of fetchnews or texpire should be active at a given
time.

I presume problems occur only when running external programs that also
modify the groupinfo file...

Could you give some explanations/examples ?
Thanks.
