procmail filters

This recipe does what's expected:

    :0fw
    | /usr/bin/head -48

No, that's not a real recipe.  I'm using it as a test vehicle now
that I think that it's procmail and not spamc that's problematic
for me.  The procmail log file contains this after processing a
test message:

    procmail: [2322] Tue Apr  2 11:52:52 2002
    procmail: Executing "/usr/bin/head,-36"
    procmail: [2322] Tue Apr  2 11:52:52 2002
    procmail: No match on "^X-Spam-Status: Yes"
    procmail: Locking "spool.lock"
    procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=spool"
    procmail: Opening "spool"
    procmail: Acquiring kernel-lock
    procmail: Unlocking "spool.lock"

      Folder: spool                                                2118
    procmail: Notified comsat: "kevinc(_at_)0:/home/kevinc/Mail/spool"



This recipe doesn't work at all

    :0fw
    | /home/kevinc/bin/head -48



The procmail log file contains this after processing the same test message:

    procmail: [4999] Tue Apr  2 12:02:47 2002
    procmail: Executing "/home/kevinc/bin/head,-48"
    ld.so.1: /home/kevinc/bin/head: fatal: relocation error: file

    procmail: [4999] Tue Apr  2 12:02:47 2002

    procmail: [4999] Tue Apr  2 12:02:47 2002
    procmail: No match on "^X-Spam-Status: Yes"
    procmail: Locking "spool.lock"
    procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=spool"
    procmail: Opening "spool"
    procmail: Acquiring kernel-lock
    procmail: Unlocking "spool.lock"

      Folder: spool                                                5356
    procmail: Notified comsat: "kevinc(_at_)0:/home/kevinc/Mail/spool"



I copied /usr/bin/head into /home/kevinc/bin/head.  How can I
tell how procmail is treating the two executable filters
differently?  Knowing this would help me figure out how to get
spamc working.

Does it matter if my home directory is NFS mounted?  I saw some
NFS references in the mini FAQ.  procmail seems to work except
for some filter programs.

It looks like procmail might not allow filters to run that are
outside of some PATH that I've yet to determine (I don't run the
the problematic mail server).

Thanks....
