Procmail Bug?

In an earlier message today, I reported that I'm getting strange messages.
Now I found out that I'm getting these messages everytime the script is
executed that I'm using together with procmail.

This makes me think that procmail generates such messages -- I don't know
why.

Below, I'll add one of these messages, the script I'm using and my
.procmailrc. I'm a normal user on a cluster of HP9000/735 computers using HP/UX
9.03, I use elm (v. 1.147.109.14) and procmail 3.10.

Thanx...

-------end of message-----------

This message is copied straight out of my Mail/mbox file, there is no 
additional header information.

------my script------------
# QSUB
while true ; do formail -s procmail < /usr/mail/mbelow && > /usr/mail/mbelow; 
sleep 1200; done
------end of script--------

This script is running in the background, it's submitted as a batch request
to our Network Queuing System (NQS). When I had this running with sleep
600, the bogus messages came every 10 Minutes -- now I've changed it to
sleep 1200, and these messages come every 20 Minutes.

------my .procmailrc-------
# Please check if all the paths in PATH are reachable, remove the ones that
# are not.

PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin:.
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail      # You'd better make sure it exists
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/mbox
LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/from
LOCKFILE=$HOME/.lockmail

-------end of .procmailrc-------------

This is a modified version of procmail-3.10/examples/1procmailrc.
