procmail: Lock failure...

1997-01-30 08:00:41
Every now and then I keep getting a message like this across my
terminal while logged on as root:

procmail: Lock failure on "/var/spool/mail/user.lock"

What does this mean? 

System info:
Dec Alpha PC164
RedHat Linux/AXP distribution
Linux-2.0.28
procmail v3.10
sendmail 8.8.5/8.7.3
what else should might you need?

This is a new system set up as an Internet server, with about 600+ users.
Everything seems to be running ok, sending and receiving email with no
problems... But, I thought I would check this out.

Thanks for your help,
-Rob
