I've been following this thread: the bug is related with copying
mail across NFS in combination with cache locking, right? Cor uses FBSD; but is this a bug that might impact other platforms
as well?
The main bug here was that with lock_method=dotlock when cache file
was being compressed, it could have tried to lock the cache file
again, seeing that the .lock file already exists (created by itself)
and waiting for it until timeout and then overriding it and causing
the compression to fail. The OS or filesystem didn't matter.
