>Description:
	mail.local does not create a lockfile username.lock, if called
	with -l. The "l" is missing from the getopt call.
	This is a problem, when mounting and accessing Your mail spool
	directory from a nfs-server (netbsd does not implement flock
	accross the net). elm for example can use flock und username.lock
	at once.
>How-To-Repeat:
	mail.local -l with a large message und look for username.lock
>Fix:
