I'm on a Pyramid, and vm won't copy my system mailbox to INBOX. I can
copy it by hand, and it starts up okay, but it still never thinks
there is mail in my system box. Visit folder seems to work okay.

The messages it prints on startup if there is no INBOX are:

(New file)
Getting new mail from /usr/spool/mail/caseys...(New file)
Wrote /u1/contr/caseys/INBOX
Getting new mail from /usr/spool/mail/caseys... done
Folder is empty.
0 messages, 0 new, 0 unread.
Wrong type argument: arrayp, nil

File permissions are:

drwxrwxr-x  3 root        53248 Mar 24 10:36 /usr/spool/mail/
-rw--w--w-  1 caseys        862 Mar 24 10:36 /usr/spool/mail/caseys

Any ideas? A locking failure perhaps?
