expected at least with -ml.)

Would running lockd make a difference? (Do I even +have+ a lockd? :-) 
My home box is a stock NetBSD 1.2 one; don't have the uname
information handy but it essentially says it's a Mac running MacBSD
1.2 (NetBSD 1.2/mac68k) GENERIC #1.

procmail: Couldn't create "/var/spool/mail/1272"
Wasn't that supposed to be "cs1272"?

(Adding DEFAULT=/var/spool/mail/walt to .procmailrc suggested in
private mail.)
