I'm running sendmail 5.64 on a DecStation 3100.  Things run okay for a few
days, then I start getting messages like this in the syslog:

Sep 11 12:14:34 LOCALHOST: 3494 sendmail: AA03494: SYSERR: SMTP-MAIL: cannot 
fork: Not enough core
Sep 11 12:18:37 LOCALHOST: 3497 sendmail: AA03497: SYSERR: SMTP-MAIL: cannot 
fork: Not enough core
Sep 11 12:53:07 LOCALHOST: 195 sendmail: NOQUEUE: SYSERR: daemon: cannot fork: 
Not enough core
Sep 11 12:57:38 LOCALHOST: 3546 sendmail: AA03546: SYSERR: SMTP-MAIL: cannot 
fork: Not enough core

I guessed that this means that there's not enough core, but I can't
figure out what to do about it.  I tried increasing the limits with
the limit command but that didn't solve the problem.  Is there maybe
a storage leak?  How could I debug it?  Or should I maybe go back to
an earlier version (I have source for 5.61 around still)?
