I received several replies suggesting that 1.7.2.insync-1.1d was more
stable than 1.5.1sec2 under Digital UNIX. I've installed it and
haven't had any problem yet.

Thanks to:

Bob Sloane <sloane_at_UKANS.EDU>
Allan E Johannesen <aej_at_WPI.EDU>
John P.Speno <speno_at_isc.upenn.edu>
Bill O'Neill (woneill_at_pobox.com)
Bill Bergman <wrb_at_wcsmail.com>

And especially Ann Cantelow, <cantelow_at_athena.csdco.com>, who
suggested building in the embedded perl support and running
cleanfeed. She said she had problems with innd growing without bound
until she rebuilt perl to use DU's malloc instead of perl's.

Cleanfeed is absolutely fantastic! It's like travelling back in time
to the days before spam. :-)
