For example, while using 2.0.30, I'll attempt to get new mail in
emacs/RMAIL while a message is being delivered, and emacs will
complain, correctly,
"movemail: Device or resource busy for /var/spool/mail/ktk busy."
Now, under 2.1.43, the movemail program does not complain; it reads
the partially-written mail message (often just one character), appends
it onto the end of the RMAIL file, and complains that the RMAIL folder
cannot be parsed.
I'm using 2.1.43 in non-SMP mode, using Linus's default configuration
except for kerneld, lance ethernet, no SCSI, no automounter.
