Mmh. I see one such error in my procmail log.

An alternative would be not to look at your mail while
downloading it. 

Is there any reason for not crossposting your message to a
procmail list, eg procmail-dev AT procmail DOT org or
procmail AT lists DOT RWTH-Aachen DOT DE? The number of people on both
procmail and cygwin lists must be very small, but the procmail
developers (ie Philip Guenther) should be made aware of the
autoconf problem.
