Hi list,

I've moved my .mutt to a fat32 filesystem

        > mv ~/.mutt /media/win_d && ln -s /media/win_d/.mutt ~/     

after I run mutt, I find that mutt waits a very long time for reading
a mbox:

          Reading /home/user/.mutt/mails/mbox...

then prompt:

          Lock count exceeded, remove lock for
/home/user/.mutt/mails/mbox? ([yes]/no):

How many messages are in that mbox?

Less than 30 mails, since it's unusable at all, I have to move mails into
BSD fs again.
