Switch to Sun's compiler or change to newer version of gcc. I ran into
this problem with an older gcc. When I stepped through mimedefang with a
debugger, I found it wasn't doing "errno != EDADF" check. If another
thread already was using that particular working directory, the program
wouldn't loop to try a different directory name.
