It seems something broken between 2.4.15-pre2 and this update - I am
seeing filesystem corruption:

Procmail moans about "locked" mailboxes - Opening them shows that
the last mail originates about 4 hours ago although there are coming
mails every minute.

procmail: Extraneous locallockfile ignored
procmail: Error while writing to "countpl/20011205"
procmail: Truncated file to former size
procmail: Error while writing to "archive/received-200112"

The last lines of the countpl/20011205 file contain 0 - Cut'n'pasted
from "most".
