This all sounds correct.  I don't see any reason for the different results.=

The only thing I can think is perhaps the different environment variables
are affecting your results (PATH and HOME are the most likely).

Do you have multiple copies of bmf on your system (perhaps one in $HOME/bin
and one in /usr/local/bin)?

Have you checked to see if the database files under ~/.bmf are updated when
procmail runs?

The only thing more costly than stretching the schedule of an established
project is accelerating it, which is itself the most costly action known to
man.
