The 4.2 version of sendmail has some places where it should check for
the connection being closed and does not.  This can put it into
infinite loops.  We have also seen the situation where it writes a
file while into this loop.  As far as I know, the 4.3 version of
sendmail does not have this problem.  It is available from Berkeley by
anonymous ftp, because it is part of the MX update.  It will work
under 4.2.
