It dumps core at line 271 in resolve.c if you use the debugging options
in smail 2.5 .  This is because of the variable domainv[step] is passing
a null pointer as a string into printf - This is a bug in smail, but 
many Unixes allow this. I sent a message to Microport about adding this
feature and got the reply that it was added to their list. I never bothered
to fix the bug as smail works great without the debugging option used.

BTW, the symbollic debugger under Microport is called 'sdb'.
