I don't think it has nothing to do with MATCH. But I'm unable to find any
logical cause for this suddenly appearing problem. It's somewhere in the
chain when procmail calls a shell command that contains SHELLMETAS in it.

Yes. I just don't understand. Does that mean that we have to upgrade our
HP version in the Mail server. Huh, I don't know if that's easily possible.

    -- recompiling with gcc didn't help
    -- this only happend in 09.01. Same code in HP 10.01 and 10.20 works fine.
    -- changing SHELL to /bin/ksh /bin/csh didn't make any difference in 
       results.
