I just configured, compiled, and installed sendmail-5.65b+IDA-1.4.3 on a Sun SLC.
I had previously been running sendmail-5.65+IDA-1.3.5, but with a simple, home-grown
sendmail.cf.  With the new version I set up some of the dbm stuff, used the .m4 file
to make the sendmail.cf.  Seemed great to me.

Shortly after running it, the machine began to crash with the following syslog messages.

...and so on.  This happens periodically.  Have I run into some famous patch that
I need to install?  (I used the malloc.c provided.)

I've gone back to the older version and cf file, and things are fine again.
