My procmail is: procmail v3.11pre7 1997/04/28
           Locking strategies:     dotlocking

and my system is: 
   SunOS systema 5.6 Generic_105181-06 sun4m sparc SUNW,SPARCstation-5

Hmm, that's a pretty old version of the kernel patch for 5.6, which
means you're probably behind on other patches too.  You should consider
getting the latest recommended patches from
     ftp://sunsolve.sun.com:/pub/patches/


I have already applied a lot of patches including Y2K etc. , the above 
'Generic_105181-06' may be misleading because I think it only shows the
time when the kernel is FIRST built with patched I applied at that very
first time.

Well, I know that when I applied 105181-12, the uname -a output changed
to match after a reboot.

...
One more question:  when I type 'procmail -v' it shows that:
      Your system mailbox:    /var/mail/chang

but my mbox is actually located in my ~chang/mbox  (this is just what I want)
because I define my environment MAIL is is /home/chang/mbox.  I don't think it
will cause procmail any delay or problem to process the mail, right?

You should uncomment the #define of MAILSPOOLHOME in src/authenticate.c
and change its value to "/mbox", then recompile and reinstall
procmail.  That'll let procmail know the correct spool location.
