SubjectWatch out for sendmail and 1.3.78
After installing 1.3.78 I tried to do a "newaliases" which gave a
segmentation violation.
This was on an a.out system:
close(7) = -1 EBADF (Bad file number)
close(6) = -1 EBADF (Bad file number)
close(5) = -1 EBADF (Bad file number)
close(4) = -1 EBADF (Bad file number)
close(3) = -1 EBADF (Bad file number)

And then SIGSEG!

I retrieved sendmail.8.7.tar.gz from sunsite, compiled and everything is OK now.

Then I tested newaliases on an ELF machine with 1.3.78 and had a slightly
different problem:

chdir("/var/spool/mqueue") = 0
open("/etc/aliases", O_RDWR) = 3
fcntl(3, F_SETLK, {type=F_WRLCK, whence=SEEK_SET, start=0, len=0}) = 0
sigaction(SIGINT, {SIG_IGN}, {0x80107e0, [INT], 0}) = 0
stat("/etc/aliases", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=11, ...}) = 0
open("/etc/aliases.pag", O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0644) = 4
fstat(4, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=12288, ...}) = 0
SYS_143(0x4, 0x6, 0x1c0, 0x803ff80, 0x6) = 0
ftruncate(4, 0) = 0
fstat(4, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
brk(0x8041000) = 0x8041000
write(4, "\316\232W\23\0\20\0\0\0\20\0\0\0"..., 4096) = 4096
write(4, "\0 \0\0\0 \0\0\0 \0\0\0 \0\0\0 \0"..., 4096) = 4096
write(4, "\1\0\0\0\0\20\0\0\0000\0\0\0\0\0"..., 4096) = 4096
fsync(4) = 0
stat("/etc/aliases.dir", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=12288, ...}) = 0
fcntl(4, F_SETLKW, {type=F_WRLCK, whence=SEEK_SET, start=0, len=0} <unfinished
...>

It stopped on the fcntl statement, it wouldn't respond to a CTRL-C but did
suspend with CTRL-Z. Once again I compiled 8.7 on this system and
everything is OK again.

So...I guess this is a "Watch out for sendmail and 1.3.78!"
