Thank you, David.  That almost worked.

Changing ":0c" to ":0c:" gave the warning:

procmail: Couldn't determine implicit lockfile from "bogofilter"

So I think we have to give it an explicit lockfile name:

:0c:bogofilter.lck

It seems to work okay now, and so far it has not been necessary to also lock 

:0fw
