[Mimedefang] Bayes locking

 After upgrading to the latest mimedefang and SA, we now see on a
regular basis the bayes files being locked. It appears to not affect
mail delivery, and sometimes it will go away after a while. We have
pretty decent hardware and not a huge system load with mail so I am
perplexed...but it is filling up our log file. Any suggestions would be
appreciated...thank you kindly. When googling on it, most items I saw
were that it was usually temporary due to system load. This particular
incident has been going on for a few hours. We often send large CAD
attachments, would that cause the issue?
