I'm also suspicious of this change.  this change doesn't seem related
to the purpose given in the check-in comment, is it?  if you really want
to reduce the amount of duplicate code, why not just split it into
multiple functions?


also, do we really another flag that means the same thing as VXLOCK?
why not just use VXLOCK?  this would mean rearranging vgonel(), vclean(),
etc, a bit, but the result would be much nicer.
