Re: ANNOUNCE - release of nmh-0.21 - file locking problem

Is there any difference in the file locking mechanism between version 0.20 
and 0.21 ?

I used nmh through exmh for a while and when I installed the 0.21 version 
(exactly in the same way as I installed the 0.20 a few weeks ago), exmh 
stopped to work (it is 'frozen').

It seems that nmh creates a lock file (I am not a specialist of locking, 
sorry ...) in /var/mail/$username.lock that is not deleted.

The only thing I changed is this new version of nmh. If I switch back to 
nmh-0.20 it works perfectly do I don't think there was a change in our 
system.

I am using nmh-0.21 on a Sparc Ultra, Solaris 2.5.1

Any idea ?

Thanks.
