Package: procmail
Version: 3.22-19
Severity: critical
Justification: causes serious data loss

I use procmail to filter my mail and for some mail, the procmail log
says:

>From [email protected]  Mon Sep 26 10:20:54 2011
 Subject: Re: ...
  Folder: Mail/Maildir/new/1317025254.11570_2.xvii                         2429

However the mail never appeared in my mailbox (I was waiting for it).
When I looked at the file system, there was no such file.

The mail was stored due to the default rule. I have:

  DEFAULT=Mail/Maildir/

The file system is ext3 (encrypted).

Of course, I can't exclude a file system bug or a bug in Mutt (which
I was using at the same time). Does procmail avoid any race condition
with MUA's by doing the right thing when dealing with maildir?

Note: I've received my mail on this machine since September 1, 2011.
