Right diagnosis, wrong prescription.  Zach should delete the blank line or
upgrade his procmail version.  If a procmail version is old enough to think
that a blank line in the middle of a recipe means "save to /", it is too
old to understand a comment line in the middle of a recipe.  Commenting it
out with "#" will make procmail save to a file named $MAILDIR/#, which is
not what Zach wants either.

I did have a commented out line in there, and since I took it out, the 
recipe seems to be working OK now.  It also seems to have corrected another 
weird problem too, so....works for me!  I think I have v2.92 of 
Procmail...I assume that's old, because the latest version is something 
like 3.10, right?
