Error locking the outdir...

[Sean M Alderman <sean.m.alderman@grc.nasa.gov>]

greets all,
	I realize I'm running an old version of the software, and please don't
tell me my only solution is to upgrade.  Could someone point me in the
right direction of what's wrong -

People using one of these lists I have archived are getting
underliverables that look something like this -

What's with the unable to lock <outdir>?  I haven't changed anything to
my system recently...although I don't admin the box it's installed on.
