Imagine that procmail writes a message into the +foo.bar folder, and
the user uses "B c" or "B m" to write a message into that folder at
the same time.  Gnus doesn't know about locking, so it doesn't do
locking, so there's a possibility that you lose mail.

There has been a discussion that Gnus ought to know about locking, but
I don't remember the outcome.
