Reiterating kernel-lock

1995-11-21 02:27:22
        Two of my users are having trouble with procmail not
delivering mail.  The log message is 'Reiterating kernel-lock.'
Neither had a .procmailrc (procmail is our Mail delivery agent), and
no other users are having the problem.  Home directories are NFS
automounted, but almost always there because of users logged into the
server.  /usr/spool/mail/ is a local disk.

        Any advice on finding which locking strategy is the problem?
(Or otherwise solving it?)

Thanks,

Adam

PS: Please copy me directly, since I've been removed from the procmail
list (DNS foobar) and haven't mananged to resubscribe yet.)

PPS: I'm running on Sunos 4.1.3 (and .4), using sendmail 8.6.12 and
procmail v3.10 1994/10/31.

Locking strategies:     dotlocking, fcntl(), lockf(), flock()
Default rcfile:         $HOME/.procmailrc
System mailbox:         /usr/spool/mail/$LOGNAME
