procmail 3.10 store /usr/spool/mail problem on SunOS 4.1.4

1997-02-22 16:34:12
I just built procmail-3.10 on my Sun 4.1.4, it compiled and installed
(non-root install) without any problem.  Then I setup my .forward file
to be:

"|IFS=' '&&exec /home/chad/plew/bin/procmail -f-||exit 75 #plew"

my .procmailrc file has:

#---------------- procmailrc begin----------------
LOGFILE=/home/chad/plew/Mail/procmail.log
SHELL=/bin/sh
VERBOSE=on

## Convert messages sent by Sun's mailtool to MIME.
:0 fhbw
* ^Content-Type: X-Sun-attachment
| bogomime
#----------------- procmailrc end-----------------

Then I tried to send myself a test mail with the following command:

        $ echo "nothing really" | mail -s "test #4" plew

The procmail.log file contains the following:

procmail: [8452] Sat Feb 22 23:22:29 1997
procmail: No match on "^Content-Type: X-Sun-attachment"
procmail: Locking "/usr/spool/mail/plew.lock"
procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/usr/spool/mail/plew"
procmail: Opening "/usr/spool/mail/plew"
procmail: Acquiring kernel-lock
procmail: [8452] Sat Feb 22 23:22:30 1997
procmail: Unlocking "/usr/spool/mail/plew.lock"
From plew  Sat Feb 22 23:22:29 1997
 Subject: test #4
  Folder: /usr/spool/mail/plew                                              352
procmail: Notified comsat: "plew(_at_)5285:/usr/spool/mail/plew"

However, the mail is not stored in /usr/spool/mail/plew.  It is simply
vanished.  Any idea how can I track this down?

$ df /usr/spool/mail
Filesystem            kbytes    used   avail capacity  Mounted on
mailer:/var/mail     1829101  859384  786807    52%    /tmp_mnt/var/spool/mail

$ ls -ldL /usr/spool/mail
drwxrwxrwt  5 root        21504 Feb 22 18:18 /usr/spool/mail/

$ date > /usr/spool/mail/foo
$ ls -l /usr/spool/mail/foo
-rw-r--r--  1 plew     src            29 Feb 22 18:20 /usr/spool/mail/foo
$ rm /usr/spool/mail/foo
$

Any help will be appreciated, please respond by email...
