This is what I get after running strip on them:

-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       416256 Jun 21 15:46 mutt*
-rwxr-sr-x    1 root     mail         7696 Jun 21 15:46 mutt_dotlock*
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root         6668 Jun 21 11:43 muttbug*

The sizes are a bit different from what the RPM produces.  I don't
know exactly how strip is called from the RPM to know if that makes a
difference.  But it doesn't look my /var/spool/mail/vdanen file is
locked to read-only either after I manually run strip on them.
