I copied the 36 MB SSRT0359_OSF1032C.tar file and installed the two
new libc files on one of our 3.2C systems last weekend. Since then
sendmail has dumped core several times. I.e., after I have sent a mail
with dxmail there is a core file in /var/spool/mqueue from a failing
malloc in sendmail (at least this is what dbx claims). I have not
had any coredumps when I used mailx or mail. When I reinstalled the
original libraries sendmail stopped dumping core.
Are there others who have seen and can confirm this behaviour?
SSRT0359_OSF1032C is the patch that fixes a potential security problem
in syslog.
