Failed to lock /var/spool/mqueue.in/qfg65IWbm29468 with unexpected error[29482]: Bad file number

[Julian Field]

Assuming you only have 1 MailScanner process running at once, I can't
explain it immediately. For some reason the qf* file is open by another
process (which it shouldn't be). Is the qf* file 0 bytes long by any
chance? Are there any other files corresponding to this message id? If so,
how big are they?
