kernel-lock problems...

1999-09-09 02:38:45
Hi folks,

From the procmail faq I typed the experiments.rc recipe file.  I then ran
it using a small mail spool as an input and got the following error
messages.  Can anyone help explain why I get the kernel lock/unlock errors
and all of the mail is not processed? FWIW, I'm running a stock RedHat
linux 5.2 kernel and the version of procmail is 3.13-1.

procmail: [5019] Fri Sep  3 18:00:50 1999

Thanks for any help,

Mark
