Head, by its purpose, doesn't read in the entire input but rather exits once
it has found the required number of lines.  Since procmail can't write the
entire text to head, procmail finds a write error.

Yes but how come the error only happens for a small minority of messages
on a 150 message mailbox processed with "formail -s procmail < mbox"? 

Thanks,
