I have a server running Debian 1.2.x, sendmail 8.8.5-1, procmail 3.10-4
and a client running Debian 1.3, pine 3.96L-2. 

The servers receives all mails from the Internet through sendmail (via
UUCP). I have a ".forward" on my account to transfer all mails to
procmail. procmail sorts the Debian mailing lists out (puts them in
specific folders). All other mails are stored in /var/spool/mail/schwarz.

When I access that folder with pine exactly when procmail modifies it
(this happens frequently!) pine complains about some other process
modifying "his" folder and aborts.



Thanks,

Chris
