The line actually reads:

	if (*lock_path != NULL || lock_path != NULL) {

Scott thus used "str" as a generic name for a string, similar to the
way names are used in the "SYNOPSIS" portion of a typical UNIX manual
page. When the manual page says that "fopen()" is called as,
"fopen(file-name, type)", that doesn't mean that you always have to call
the first argument "file-name" and the second one "type".

Be a bit creative in interpreting USENET postings :-) ...
