This problem is difficult to describe, and difficult to trace or reproduce.
I'm not sure it is specific to the XF86_Mach64 server, but that's the only one

This is a documented bug in the original source---I believe I sent a

On my system, sendmail seems to get into a non-terminating loop when it
runs the mail queue and when it processes the SMTP MAIL FROM command.
Later today I'll have time to build it for debugging.

I agree with Ian J.
I also agree that compatibility between distributions is paramount, but
I'd rather convince Caldera, Red Hat, etc. to be compatible with System V
than change Debian to be incompatible with it. We should make talking to
them the first step in resolving this incompatibility

Is this necessary? I thought the FSSTND said it wasn't.
We should consider adding umsdos support to Debian 1.0. Alot of

It should log to both utmp *and* wtmp by default. Could this be changed?

Anders,
I rebuilt sendmail for debugging, with -DNEWDB removed because it did not
find the header db.h, and -DNDBM is there anyway - I think we probably don't
need both. The problem went away. These are my db libraries.
