Line 1039 from /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/mail.local/mail.local.c is:

 mailerr(errcode, "lockmailbox %s failed; error code %d %s",
  p, off, errno > 0 ? errstring(errno) : "");

From qmail's INSTALL.maildir:

"... qmail doesn't even pretend to support mbox over NFS". Read the rest
of INSTALL.maildir for more info.
