FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE #0: Tue May  8 03:35:59 CDT 2001 root@edgemaster.zombie.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/EDGEMASTER

Within the last few days, I've started experiencing problems with the
procmail 3.15.1 port.  I'm using it as my MDA from postfix-20010228.1.
I've got stuff in ~/.procmailrc, such as:

:0:
* ^To:.*BUGTRAQ@SECURITYFOCUS.COM
boxes/bugtraq

However, I've started to notice some bleeding of messages.  Some messages
were not ending up in boxes/freebsd-stable or boxes/freebsd-ports.  This
got me curious, so I turned on VERBOSE and LOGFILE.  This is what I'm
seeing:

procmail: Assigning "MAILDIR=Mail/"
procmail: Assigning "PGPLOG=autopgp.log"
procmail: Assigning "MY_NAME=Sean Kelly"
procmail: Assigning "MY_ADDR=smkelly@zombie.org"

procmail: Acquiring kernel-lock
From owner-bugtraq@SECURITYFOCUS.COM  Wed May  9 14:36:10 2001
 Subject:      Solaris mailx Vulnerability
   Folder: /var/mail/smkelly                   5389

If it got the kernel lock, why would it fail in writing to it?  Again, this
is not every message that fails.  I did start seeing this problem after
rebuilding world/kernel, but I've also upgraded procmail.  However, I have
been told by other FreeBSD and procmail-3.15.1 users that they don't have
the problem.  I'm not entirely sure what's going on here.  Since this
doesn't happen all the time, and since it's being run from within my MTA,
I'm not even sure how to debug it (i.e. ktrace).

Is this a known problem, or does anybody have a suggestion how I can get
more debugging information to figure out why my mail isn't being sorted
properly?
