NFS screwup -> hung procmail

Hmm...  Got a kinda situation here:  We've got a NFS server that provides
the mail directories and inbox folders for our accounts on another server. 
On this server where the accounts are, I run procmail, but over the
weekend the two servers had a lot of "issues".  Mail wasn't properly being
delievered after this.  About 1/2 hour ago, mail was restored and the
queue started empting, only now there's 47 procmail instancies of mine
that seem "hung" and aren't delivering my mail.  I probably have even more
email that procmail hasn't even started processing.

I noticed that there were a bunch of lock files- I figured they were stale
from earlier, so I deleted them.  That didn't seem to help.  What should I
do? Kill the processes? HUP them? It's pretty important that I don't loose
any email. 

Thanks!
