  I've been having a strange problem with sendmail for quite a while now.
About once every two or three days, I'll notice a core dump from sendmail in
my spool area.  Looking in with dbx, sendmail is dumping in the reply function
in usersmtp.c.  The actual line is the "(void) fflush(SmtpOut);" line.  Now
the value of SmtpOut is 0, but I can't easily determine whether that is really
bogus or not.

  The configuration is a Sun running SunOS 4.0, and Sendmail V5.64.  I have
seen the same problem running sendmail V5.62, but I was hoping it would go
away when I moved to 5.64.

  Any pointers to the cause of the problem would be greatly appreciated.
