I agree that seems to match the symptoms...

...but nmh commands wouldn't steal each other's draft?  For example, two
comp(1)s racing each other are going to create 42 and 43, never both
plump for 42.  Though perhaps Laura's script tries to spot what's been
created by exploding the digest and nicks comp's draft at a higher level
outside of nmh.
