Very Computer

I just compiled elm-2.4p25. It compiled well, but when I try to read my
mail, elm says that my mailfile is still receiving messages... then it waits
7 seconds and then elm quits.
There is also lock file in /var/mail (/var/mail/eka.lock).

I used to use elm-2.4p23... this older version works well.. but I didn't
compile it myself.

I think that I did something wrong when I have to answer some questions to
the configuration-script before compiling elm-2.4p25.

What locking methods have you compiled into elm? I use only dot-locking,
neither flock nor fcntl, and elm works fine fore me.
