Subject: Error whilst opening folders.

Hi,
   i've read the FAQ on Folder Problems and it seems that my problem 
could be related to the folder lock deal, but i'm not sure.
   We have a number of UNIX boxes in our department. Recently we added 2 
more Alpha machines, and we've always been using a common file sharing 
system. On the older machines, Pine 3.91 works like a whiz. But with the 
newer machines, no configuration changes have been made, but everytime we 
Goto a Folder, it would give the following error above the 2 rows of 
Commands at the bottom of the screen:

[Error creating /users/a/anuja/unix/mail/foldername.lock: I/O error]

Although it doesn't lose any mail, and does the saving and moving of 
mails to the folders properly, but the error is worrisome. This has 
happened to any user who tries to use Pine, not just me. We've checked to 
ensure that no other Pine session was open.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
