My mistake. It did just display and exit. The appended message
was indeed from the next command I executed (below).

I have had logs set up all along, and have now made them verbose.
When I execute
   procmail -d tbaker <test.mbox
-- On the netbook, it gets correctly delivered by procmail and verbosely
described in the log.
-- On the desktop, the message gets appended to /var/spool/mail/TBaker,
and nothing is written into the log. None of the tests I have done
on the desktop have been recorded in the log. The same log
directory exists on both machines - I have been using the same
log filename for several years as the entire directory structure
got passed back and forth between the two machines.
