appears to be a good guess (Thanks Julian).  I've started tweaking with
the locking and so far so good.  In our case, I set it to posix.  We are
running rhel4 with sendmail 8.13 and mailscanner 4.49 (fixing to go to
50).  We hadn't set any settings on lock type, but setting to posix and
restarting appears to be doing the trick.  (still early though)
