Subject: Lock when already locked

What does this mean:
Problem detected: "Lock when already locked".
Pine Exiting.
Abort

I'm seeing it today while running pine (4.20) along with the OSX mail program.
They say they haven't changed their locking strategy.  What else could've
changed to cause this to start happening?

I haven't figured out if I can get it to happen at will.  They're both
using IMAP, and I do have reason to use multiple mail programs at once!

Hi,

This probably has nothing to do with running multiple mail programs on the
same mailbox simultaneously, but is likely a bug in pine.  I'll try not to
go into too much detail, but it can happen when pine calls some sort of
c-client routine, and that routine calls a callback that pine has passed
into c-client, and that callback calls another c-client routine.  Any
other information that you can send on your observations would probably be
helpful, especially if you can get this to happen on 4.21.  Perhaps the
most helpful information would be a stack trace of the crash.

Thanks,

Jeff
