Dear Tobias, > fixed 648941 8.14.4-2.1 > This is fixed in Wheezy.
Is it, really? The policy says: ... fcntl() locking must be combined with dot locking. To avoid deadlocks, a program should use fcntl() first and dot locking after this ... whereas strace shows: link("/var/mail/.lk10336dp639", "/var/mail/psz.lock") = 0 open("/var/mail/psz", O_WRONLY|O_APPEND) = 4 fcntl64(4, F_SETLKW, {type=F_WRLCK, whence=SEEK_CUR, start=0, len=0}) = 0 which seems the wrong order.
