Probably your script is exiting too early, before it finishes 
processing.

Depending on how you do things, procmail can be called in parallel by 
several emails, so you either change your script to be able to cope with 
that situation, or tell the other software to only send one.

For example, if you are using postfix in the mix, you can tell it to 
process one email at a time for local delivery (slowing things down a 
lot).

You can also use lock files in procmail so that a section blocks if a 
parallel process is already in there.


Procmail is offtopic here, and you don't say what distribution you are 
using, but surely it has a help forum or mail list. I use openSUSE, you 
can find me there and I'll be happy to try to help. Otherwise, mail me 
directly, and time permitting, I'll try to help.
