I had built procmail-3.11pre7 on SunOS 4.1.3, and had been using it
on SunOS 4.1.4, nfs-mounting mailboxes from an Auspex fileserver.
Autoconf had decided
Locking strategies: dotlocking, fcntl(), lockf(), flock()
As soon as I introduced "junkfilter" into the my personal procmailrc
procmail dumped core several times in a couple of days -- with the
letter being processed !not! being requeued for later delivery (ouch!)
Any speculation as to what's going on here? Obviously a bug in a
procmailrc can make procmail fail, but with the procmail author's
apparent attention to reliability and robustness, I didn't think that
procmail dumping core and losing mail was likely...
Best regards,

junkfilter was incorporated like
JFDIR=$MAILDIR/spam
INCLUDERC=$JFDIR/rc.junk
:0 :
* SPAMMER ?? .
| formail -i "X-Fkey: junk" -i "X-Spammer: $SPAMMER" >> M:spam
and I was using the junkfilter files as packaged, without any local
customization.
The timestamps on "junkfilter" contents are 1997/12/05
