Package: emacs21-bin-common
Version: 21.4a-3
Severity: normal

movemail does not check the error code after creating the hard
link in line 344:

          tem = link (tempname, lockname);

As a result it loops if the link fails with -1 EPERM (Operation
not permitted). This happens for instance on smbfs mounted
directories, because smbfs 3.0.22-1 does not support hard links
any more (it used to).
