I took a look at the man pages and the best_of file but didn't see this
explicitly stated so I thought I'd ask. I'm getting kernel lock failed
errors fairly regularly (several times a week) here at Netcom and as far as
I can tell I'm not losing any mail so I'm not too concerned, but I wanted
to check that there wasn't a serious problem. Here's what I get
from mailstat:
Total Number Folder
----- ------ ------
0 2 ## procmail: Kernel-lock failed
0 2 ## procmail: Kernel-unlock failed
Looking in the log file I see the following:
From ba-firearms-owner(_at_)shell(_dot_)portal(_dot_)com Mon Nov 20 08:25:29
1995
Subject: Gramm supports 2A
Folder: ba-firearms 2645
procmail: Kernel-lock failed
procmail: Kernel-unlock failed
procmail: Kernel-lock failed
procmail: Kernel-unlock failed
From procmail-request(_at_)Informatik(_dot_)RWTH-Aachen(_dot_)DE Mon Nov 20

Subject: Re: Bounceing/forwarding
Folder: procmail 1999
Is this something I should be worrying about or is this a normal thing?
I have this as my .forward, so I assume that if this kernel lock is a
serious problem, the mail will just get requeued for later delivery:
"|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/local/nuglops/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #odin"
Thanks.
