This (locking problem) is not a bug in procmail, as it happens, locking
over NFS is tricky to get right, and it is the responsibility of the
system administrator to get it right using the correct statd/lockd
settings/configuration when mounting the filesystems.
Procmail tries to accomodate for sysadmins messing up here, but it can
only do so if the said filesystems are available for testing at compile
time.
If you are using a precompiled procmail and use filesystems configured
worse than the systems that were available during the compile time
tests, procmail can both hang or simply fail to lock.
This bug is not a bug in procmail and should be closed.
