I process my mail into different folders via procmail. To make this
work properly I need to know where emacs puts its lockfile for an
edited file/folder that already exists.
With emacs v19.30.1 I can easily, with an strace, track where the
lockfile was created.
With emacs v20.7.2 I can't locate any lockfile with an strace.
Can anyone shed some light on this problem given that I want to use
emacs v20.7.2?
PS please reply directly to me and not just the list as I am not on
this list.

The lockfile is now placed in the same directory as the file itself.

The lockfile protocol in emacs v20.7.2 seems specific to emacs. Is
there anyway to turn on the old, emacs v19.30.1, more generic
behaviour. So that emacs lockfiles can work with procmail.
