This was in response to the following rule:

:0:
* ^Subject:.*Firewalls-Digest
|formail +1 -d -s cat>>Firewalls

No.  This was in response to the following recipe:

:0:
* ^Subject:.*Firewalls-Digest

|formail +1 -d -s cat>>Firewalls

Note the empty line.

After getting some good responses from the kind people of the list, One common
thread was to upgrade to a later version of procmail which is/was more
forgiving ...

I did just that to:

      procmail-3.10

That's not enough.  Upgrade to v3.11pre4 to get rid of the original
problem (which you no longer have).

procmail: Error while writing to "formail +1 -d -s cat>>Firewalls"

'cat' is in the patch and is executable by all ....

In the PATH defined in procmail?
Are you perhaps using a csh-alike as your login shell?  And do you have
noclobber set in your .cshrc?  And Firewalls not exist, or something?
