Package: procmail
Version: 3.15-0.0.pre
Distribution: debian woody
Uname -a: Linux uzeb 2.2.14 #1 Mon Apr 24 15:26:52 CEST 2000 i686 unknown
procmail is unable to acquire kernel locks, and blocks indefinitely when I
change the file to deliver. For instance, consider doing a simple
`cat <mail file> | procmail' in these two situations:
1/ procmailrc contains just VERBOSE=on
The output is:
,----
| procmail: [1666] Wed Jul 12 18:48:10 2000
| procmail: Locking "/var/spool/mail/didier.lock"
| procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/var/spool/mail/didier"
| procmail: Opening "/var/spool/mail/didier"
| procmail: Acquiring kernel-lock
| procmail: Unlocking "/var/spool/mail/didier.lock"
| From [email protected] Wed Jul 12 18:33:11 2000
| Subject: test
| Folder: /var/spool/mail/didier 1999
`-----
2/ Now, I add "DEFAULT=.mbox" in procmailrc
The output is:
,----
| procmail: [1690] Wed Jul 12 18:53:25 2000
| procmail: Locking ".mbox.lock"
| procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=.mbox"
| procmail: Opening ".mbox"
| procmail: Acquiring kernel-lock
`-----
and here, procmail is blocked. After Control-C:
,----
| procmail: [1692] Wed Jul 12 18:53:50 2000
| procmail: Terminating prematurely whilst waiting for a kernel-lock
| From [email protected] Wed Jul 12 18:33:11 2000
| Subject: test
| Folder: **Bounced** 0
| procmail: Unlocking ".mbox.lock"
`-----
I seem to remember that some months ago, I used to get "kernel-lock
failed" messages in the same conffiguration, but that was not causing a
hangup.
Thanks for ideas.

I take your word that this was fixed in those ancient times.
Thanks a lot and sorry for the late reply.
