Is the -v flag to sendmail there all the time, or do you have $verbose set?

I've never tried sending mail verbosely in tool mode.  If I have a chance
in the next few days, I will.

My guess is that the -v flag is causing sendmail to try to write to a tty
that, in tool mode, does not exist.  This hangs everything.  If the -v is
in your sendmail args in config.h, get rid of it and recompile.  If you
have $verbose set, unset it.  See if that fixes things.
