I've implemented this change now.

Anyone know it it's possible to change the way Procmail does locking
without recompiling?

My setup is now:

Postfix:
mailbox_delivery_lock = dotlock, fcntl

Dovecot:
lock_method = dotlock
mbox_read_locks = dotlock fcntl
mbox_write_locks = dotlock fcntl

"procmail -v" gives me:
Locking strategies:     dotlocking, fcntl()

Had to set

mmap_disable=yes

for Dovecot for this to work, otherwise I get:

lock_method=dotlock and mmap_disable=no combination isn't supported. You
don't _really_ want it anyway.

So, cross my fingers and hope for improvements. :)
