Description:
------------
If I execute two consecutive times (in different browser tabs) the following script, LOCK_NB doesn't work. I mean, the second tab waits for the first to finish.

Thanks in advance.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
$handle = fopen('c:\foo', 'w+');
if ($handle)
{
	if (flock($handle, LOCK_EX + LOCK_NB))
	{
		echo 'locked!';
		sleep(5);
	}
	else
	{
		echo 'not locked!';
	}
	fclose($handle);
}
?>

Expected result:
----------------
1st:
locked!

2nd:
locked!

Actual result:
--------------
1st:
locked!

2nd:
not locked!

Same problem.

Thanks.

NOTE: I've also added a session_write_close() at the beginning.

I'm sorry.
Seems that this happens only in Firefox (don't know why).
Even with a simple script:
<?
echo 'aa';
sleep(5);
echo 'bb';
?>
