Subject: Problem: lockup on Fcc write

Pine has been locking up when i send a message, every time.

I have to hangup and redial my provider's system to free myself.

I have been getting some wierd messages like:

          [Trying to get mailbox lock from process 17182]

(I tried to kill the processes. Some cease to exist. Some dont.

and something like:

           [XON command received read-only ......

The messages go out successfully.  My best guess is that it is locking 
when it tries to write to the sent-mail file.

I have found folders in /mail i have never noticed before.  Something 
like sent-mail.lock and idt.lock  (My provider is IDT.  Thier tech 
support is worthless.)  I deleted them.

Any ideas?  terry.
