Nope, I'm not sure. The only program delivering to my maildirs is procmail,
tho. Seems like procmail creates these kind of filenames, should I file a bug?

If the bugs are gone for other people then that's most likely the cause.
Strange enough that procmail doesn't write properly to Maildirs.

I'm not sure whether they're unique but since they're only 4 digits I
suppose they're at best some Very Cheap Imitation of unique...
I guess it's time to find a better mailfilter than procmail.

Gonna try that later if switching to a filter that writes _real_
Maildir didn't help.

Any suggestions on what to use?
It should run from dot-qmail..
