  /* Use a lock file named /usr/spool/mail/$USER.lock:
     If it exists, the mail file is locked.  */
  /* Note: this locking mechanism is *required* by the mailer
     (on systems which use it) to prevent loss of mail.

     On systems that use a lock file, extracting the mail without locking
     WILL occasionally cause loss of mail due to timing errors!

     So, if creation of the lock file fails
     due to access permission on /usr/spool/mail,
     you simply MUST change the permission
     and/or make movemail a setgid program
     so it can create lock files properly.

     You might also wish to verify that your system is one
