m_filter & XFBB

Hello,
I'm running XFBB version 7.00d and a home-grown m_filter which checks for
objectional material by means of a shell script. Since I've been running
this, occasionally I get the message body, bid etc of a message corrupted -
swapped with another message!

Has anyone else experienced this?

Are there any "lock" precautions that should be taken within the m_filter
(because it's a shell scripts it runs relatively slowly)?

Thanks in advance for any ideas.
Steve
