A more detailed truss:
fstat(5, 0xFFBEEAF0) = 0
stat("/mail/vmb1/var/mailboxes.db", 0xFFBEEA68) = 0
fcntl(5, F_SETLKW, 0xFFBEEAE0) = 0
typ=F_UNLCK whence=SEEK_SET start=0 len=0 sys=0 pid=68157445
fcntl(5, F_SETLKW, 0xFFBEE9C8) = 0
typ=F_RDLCK whence=SEEK_SET start=0 len=0 sys=33152 pid=0
All the locks have start=0, len=0.

I wonder if the fact that there are 10k entries in mailboxes.db, and
10k iterations through the above loop is a coincidence? It would suggest
something pathological has happened to our skiplist, and it's devolving
to a linear search?
