In order for the exploit to work on most SystemV systems running on P5 x86 you have to do a sync system call first then execute the lock code. I have tested it on SCO UnixWare 1.x, 2.x, and SCO OpenServer 5.x and it will NOT work if you don't do a sync syscall first. Patches are available in kernel loadable module format from the vendor.
