Hmm.. I was under the impression that locking was unnecessary when
delivering to maildirs (as specified by the trailing slash.)  Are you
saying that, since multiple delivery rules are operating on the same
message, locking would still be necessary because they'd try to use
the same unique ID?  If so, I apologize for my bunglesome approach to
procmail, and hope none are misled thereby.
