Does anyone know if the following patch is a good idea for OpenBSD or
simply never needed no matter how many mails you process.

http://vorlon.cwru.edu/~tmb2/qmail-1.03/qmail-1.03-maildir-uniq.patch

which does the following

Some operating systems quickly recycle PIDs, which can lead 
to collisions between Maildir-style filenames, which must 
be unique and non-repeatable within one second.

This patch is just a means of updating qmail-local to use 
the format of the revised Maildir protocol, available at:

http://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html

It uses four unique identifiers:
* inode number of the file written to Maildir/tmp
* device number of the file written to Maildir/tmp
* time in microseconds
* the PID of the writing process
