If Matt doesn't mind getting his mail spool chewed into ribbons.  You
know, because he can't lock it, and all.

-rwxr-sr-x    1 root     mail         7152 Oct 29  2000 mutt_dotlock*

If the mail spool directory is world-writeable it's not a problem, but
if it's a standard Debian install, it won't be.
