subject: Problem tossing mail

Hello All,

I'm having a problem tossing mail. Sometimes when I run "./bbbs bogus w" I
see..

Message base locked (/bbbs/work/bbsrun.c exists), waiting...

In fact bbsrun.c does exist along with serveral 0 byte .tmp files in the work
directory. I need to delete it to continue tossing incoming mail until the next
 time I get the above.

Has anyone else seen this and/or have any advice for getting inbound mail to
toss without getting the above error?
