The S5R3.2 sys/errno.h shows:

#define	EDEADLK	45	/* Deadlock condition.			*/

/* Convergent Error Returns */
#define EDEADLOCK 56	/* file locking deadlock error		*/

And the corresponding man page only talks about EDEADLK being related
to file locking.  EDEADLOCK is not mentioned.  I would guess that EDEADLOCK
is cruft left around from a Convergent port.
