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.
