procmail locking problem

1996-01-17 15:35:28
Greetings...

I am seeing a lockfile problem with procmail and cannot figure out what
the problem is....

I have successfully installed procmail on linux and have no problems, but
am trying to install on AIX3.2 and am seeing lockfile problems...

AIX 3.2
drwxrwsr-x   2 bin      mail        4096 Jan 17 17:24 /var/spool/mail/
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     sys           10 Nov  5 1994  /usr/spool@ -> /var/spool/
-rwsr-sr-x   1 root     mail       86800 Jan 17 13:10 /usr/local/bin/procmail*
-rwxr-sr-x   1 root     mail       10074 Jan 17 13:10 /usr/local/bin/lockfile*

.forward
"|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/local/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #darabe"

.procmailrc
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail
LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/log
VERBOSE=yes

procmail: Locking "/usr/spool/mail/darabe.lock"
procmail: Error while writing to "/usr/spool/mail/_Xb1Ghome"
procmail: [6498] Wed Jan 17 22:20:37 1996

I get 8 of these and then procmail gives up and takes a kernel-lock and 
delivers the mail....  I have none of these problems with the Linux
install of procmail that is identical.

Help?
