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"?
Lemme guess, only a small minority of them have more than 87 lines?
Wrong, as the line count is dynamically computed from $= message size
should be irrelevant.
