Procmail writes to the console, which, though it's technically behind the 
HP-VUE session, actually messes with the screen of whoever is on the 
mailhost machine at the time.  Does not make Mr. Sysadmin happy, if you 
know what I mean.  
 
Is there anyway to make procmail run "silently" or to force it to not 
write to the console?

  Sure.  in config.h, it says that /dev/console is where things will get
written.  Change that to /dev/null.  Of course this _is_ a bad idea
because the things going to console are things that _cannot_ get into
log files..
