"Problems restoring permissions of mail folder"

We're running elm under DU 3.2. The mail spool is on an DU 3.2 file system,
and the mail spool directory has permissions rwxrwxrwt and each mail file
has permissions rw-------. When you exit elm with all the messages deleted,
elm gives the "Problems restoring permissions of folder /var/spool/mail/user"
warning (it still keeps the empty folder with the correct permissions!).
It's fine when you exit elm with at least one message. We didn't have this
problem when the mail spool was on an Ultrix 4.2 file system.

I would appreciate any of your input. Thanks.
