Try the appended patch and let me know if it works for you.

Yes, after the patch all tests pass.

Funny, CPAN.pm also recently introduced similar code with similar
problems. Is this a conspiracy, or just thoughtlessness? :)

Win98 has other typical solutions, such as: you can't open a file for
output in 2 programs at the same time. Surely there must be a way to
emulate flock on Win98, using an extra lock file... That way you'd only
be covered for programs written in Perl, adhering to the same
convention, but probably that should suffice. Just thinking out loud...
