IOERROR: locking index ... Unknown code ____ 255

	I'm running cyrus from the Debian/testing repository
which is currently at 2.4.16 (2.4.16-1 on the Debian side).  I'm
seeing this problem where messages aren't being correctly handled
by sieve.  I have a bunch of logwatch messages flooding in from
different systems around the same time every morning.  Most of
them end up in the correct folder, but a decent number of them
slip into my INBOX every day.  I don't think it's related to the
32 or 64-bit hash problem that I found in searching for
information about these errors messages.

	Anyway, my sieve rule looks like this:
---
if allof (header :contains "from" "utexas.edu", header :contains "subject" "logwatch for") {fileinto "INBOX/utexas/laitsadmin/lw"; stop;}

And the error messages coming from cyrus/lmtpunix look like:

And here are two messages coming in right around the same time
which are delivered without any problems to the correct folder:

	Sorry if this has already been reported.  This has been
happening now for awhile since I upgraded to 2.4 (from 2.2).  But
I'm not sure if it's been happening ever since I upgraded to 2.4
or only somewhat recently.
