Thanks for the confirmation.

I will tweak it a bit, i don't know yet exactly how.  _But_ i will
add a new small section on "Mailbox files" to the manual, and
there i'll hope for an appropriate user introduction, so that the
debug message rings an existing bell.  Thanks for this feedback!

The locking flaw is actually a really severe bug, and i will have
to produce an update release!
So i think i will spend some more time in this codebase and
release v14.8.5 ("Scared-up Chicken") _before_ 4th of July.
Ciao!
