Description

wf-config fails the file-parsing test, but passes all the other tests:

../source/subprojects/wf-config/test/file_test.cpp(336) ERROR!
  CHECK( flock(fd, 2 | 4) == 0 )
with expansion:
  CHECK( -1 == 0 )

Research direction

Start with subprojects/wf-config/test/file_test.cpp around line 336 and run the file-parsing test to reproduce the flock() failure. Investigate why the lock call returns -1 and confirm the test passes without breaking the other wf-config tests.
