How do you test that?  You're calling fcntl(F_SETLKW) exactly once at
the start of your test application, but never again later.  We're
talking advisory file locking here, so, where's the next fcntl call
waiting for the lock?

I debugged your test app and the lock still exists after the spawn call.
