I solve this problem by using the very old sysdotlock patch (attached).
It adds a --with-system-dotlock option so that one can use a system
mutt_dotlock program that may already be installed.
Now, AFAIK, dotlocking is completely unreliable. Only fcntl locking
should be used. If not available, use a mailbox format that does not
need locking.
