That should fix it?

Can anyone take a look at it?

     /**

Sorry to take so long to get back to you.  Applied the 
patch, does not appear to work.  Using File::readAll() 
on a file the first time gives a notice "Undefined 
variable 'lock' at line 360 in File.php'" but reads the 
file OK.  Using it subsequently on the same file, it 
goes into an infinite loop with "WARNING [feof(): 7 is 
not a valid File-Handle resource] in file [/usr/local/
share/pear/File.php] at line [209]".

Anybody managed to fix this problem. I have just come accross this myself. I tried the patch too with no success.
