I ran in to a nasty conflict yesterday between mush updating
a mailbox and the mailer daemon delivering new mail.  Mush
was in the middle of the update when the new mail arrived,
and mush simply overwrote the mailbox - the new mail was
completely lost.
This is on an ULTRIX/RISC v4.3 system.
Clearly, I have misconfigured Mush.  What kind of locking
should I set it up to have?
Thanks!
