procmail Backup Cache -- not working

[John Bacalle <john@unixen.org>]

Hello,

The following from man procmail should save the last 200 messages I have
received. But it just saves everything instead. My backup cache keeps
growing and growing till I manually delete it. 

   # Create a backup cache of 200 most recent messages in case of
   # mistakes (yes, you can change the 200 to 20 or 400 or whatever
   # you want)
   :0 c
   backup
   
   :0 ic
   | cd backup && rm -f dummy `ls -t msg.* | sed -e 1,200d`
   
It doesn't work under Debian or RHL (before I switched, obviously =). Is
the man page mistaken?

   John
