If anyone could shed some light on this it would be much
appreciated...

I've had weird results using sendmail 5.65b+IDA1.4.3 on sparc stations
running SunOS 4.1 and 4.1.1...  Everything seems fine on the Sun3
systems.

One system (a SparcStation 1+ running 4.1) was upgraded to 5.65b and
started PANICing whenever the daemon would start up (but not _right_
away, mabey when a queue run started)...  I always run frozen on this
system, so I don't know wheather _not_ freezing would have helped.
Since this was an `operational' system I backed out right away, and
chalked the whole thing up to Sun Insanity Syndrome.

Latter, (after forgeting about the previous incident) I installed 5.65b
on another sparc running 4.1...  This time thing's seemed to be fine
_except_ when the config file was frozen, where (according to trace) it
would hang shortly after reading the sendmail.fc file...

Well, other than that the 5.65b package seem great (runs like a charm
on Ultrix 4.x)...  I do appreciate the new default filename chanes
(which moved most things into /usr/local).
