The following piece of code is something I cooked up in order to check if
I was unlocking all my filesystem locks in my current project. I use it
with AvailMem (Avail?, I forget at the moment...) and Frags to ensure that
my code isn't slowly dribbling away pieces of the system.

It's a rather offbeat way of doing it, but I thought I'd post it to the net
for 2 reasons: 
        1. Somebody might find it useful.
        2. Somebody might suggest a better way of doing it! I'm not
           overly happy with this approach.

It works most OK of the time, but once in a blue moon the system will
request that my boot volume get re-mounted before I get around to analyzing
its DeviceList entries. No harm done, LockMon will just report it as mounted.

                Yours in Amiga-ing,
                        Dewi Williams
