Subject:   Kernel locking problems in 4.0-stable?
Message-ID:  <20000629135236.G5671@intrepid.net>

When I last upgraded -stable from source (18 June), my box stopped
local delivering mail reliably.  Upon investigation, it looks like
procmail is acquiring a lock and then hanging.

By turning on verbose messages in procmail, sometimes the mail goes though,
and sometimes a lock is acquired and just hangs.  Have there been any
changes to the kernel locking mechanism lately?  I've written the
the procmail maintainer to see if he had any suggestions, but did not
hear back.

I don't know what could be causing this, but if anyone has any suggestions
for debugging the problem, I'd like to know.

TIA.
