procmail: Extraneous locallockfile ignored

It means you tried to do something like this:
:0:
* some conditions
{
# a nested block
}
Local lockfiles don't make sense on nested blocks**, and are ignored.
Any harm? Possibly. Are you assuming that some sort of locking is being
done here, cause it isn't.

** Actually, you can put a lockfile (whose name you must specify) on a
nested block that has the 'c'ontinue flag. In which case the parent
procmail locks against multiple processes being inside the block.
However, you almost certainly don't want to/need to do this under
normal circumstances. If you're not sure what this all means, just
ignore it.
