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.

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.
