A quick note: mailbox corruption is frequently caused by programs
disagreeing on how to properly lock a mailbox file. This is problematic
because we currently have two methods for locking files, and they don't
interoperate. More on that in fcntl(2), flock(2), lockf(3), and the
kernel's Documentation/locks.txt file.
