I'm having a problem with sendmail on a DS5000/200 running Ultrix 4.1.

Some message to the machine hang the sendmail process that's delivering
them.  The sendmail process starts like its going to deliver the message
and simply starts chewing up lots of CPU time (like its in a loop).  I've
looked at the sendmail.cf file (I'm using the standard one that comes with
Ultrix) and don't see anything abvious, but I'm not a sendmail expert.

I'll include the df, lf, qf, and xf files from the queue that sendmail
thinks its delivering at the end of this message.

Has anyone else seen this?  Is there a fix?  

Thanks.

PS.  I had purposefully wanted this mail to bounce.  tet@cheetah is not a
valid address and cheetah sent it on to groucho.
