The code is attached. Compile with RPC_CALLS and FCNTL_CALLS
defined/undefined to get the two versions. with fcntl calls the hook is
triggered and unlocking works as expected, with rpc_calls it does not.
I've put print statements in sysdeps/mach/hurd/fork.c and RUN_HOOK()
is run. However, as there are more than one hook using
_hurd_atfork_child_hook. Is there any way to find out which ones is
called? Using_hurd_fork_child_hook printing does not work, due to??

BTW: All tests are made by LD_PRELOAD/LD_LIBRARY_PATH after building new
versions of libc.so (and libmachuser.so, libhurduser.so). I assume
testing can be done this way, not needing to install built packages?

Done that for _hurd_atfork_child_hook. Not needed for
_hurd_fork_child_hook, right? Main problem remains, whatever version is
used.

OK!

Works for the test code attached, not with tdbtorture.
db open failed: Interrupted system call
child 3411 exited with signal 11
child 3412 exited with signal 15

tdbtorture behaves (wrongly) as the rpc version with:
err = HURD_FD_PORT_USE (d, __file_record_lock (port, F_SETLK64, &fl64));
but does not get any interrupt signals.

Got it, see above. I've tried both versions, same main problem as above.

Regarding file_record_lock etc functions, the code that can be used for
testing is the patches I already submitted some time ago.
