'"mail -f /var/spool/mail/russell works."
        'How so?  Have you configured *disable-dotlock* for this
instance, or have you removed the fishy file in the spool directory?'
        I have done neither.   Instead of running 

        mail 
I run

        mail -f /var/spool/mail/russell 

        'The error message above happens when user or group of a file
changes in between the first and the second access.'
        /var/spool/mail/russell ?  What are the 2 accesses?
