POP locking maildrop file

[Luke Visser]

When the popd loads mail from a 'pop' mailbox
(e.g. /usr/spool/pop/l.j.visser) it locks the file.  This
is quite reasonable, however the problem arises when the
mail delivery system attempts to deliver mail to this
mailbox.

Because of the lock it gets an error and assumes that it
can't deliver the mail and so bounces it.

The version of mh is 6.6 and I'm wondering if there is
a bug fix.  If there isn't I'll look at doing one.
