Hello Managers,

I've found no solution to this one, but I did get two helpful
replies (see them below). Thanks to the following for taking
the time to respond:

Paul A Sand <pas_at_unh.edu>
Todd B. Acheson <acheson_at_ohiou.edu>

Please see my original posting at the very end. I gave up on trying
to solve the problem on DU v4.0B and dropped back to sendmail 8.8.8.
I just upgraded to DU v4.0D this past weekend and when time permits I
will try again with sendmail 8.9.3 on this os level.

I'm not sure if this is a suggestion, it's more of an observation,
but I'm in (roughly) the same situation and my Makefile has

   MAPDEF= -DNEWDB -DNDBM -DNIS -DMAP_REGEX
   INCDIRS=
   LIBDIRS=
   LIBS= -ldb -lresolv -l44bsd -ldbm

The system also runs a (slave) DNS, which was bind 8.1.2 up to a couple
days ago, now 8.2. The differences seem to revolve around us linking to
the original DU resolver library. Which I suppose you could try, if
you're desperate enough :-). I have to confess that I didn't really
think about doing it your way, but maybe this was (literally) dumb luck
on my part.

I recently built 8.9.3 and installed on my primary server with 0 
problems.
I was running 8.9.1 and I am currently running 8.9.3 with the 8.9.1 
".cf" file.
Did you modify any of the make parameters or environment before 
building.

Hello Managers
I've got a 2100 running DU 4.0B patch kit 4, and C2 security.
It's also a Domain Name Server running v8.1.2 BIND.  I just
installed sendmail 8.9.3 (was running sendmail 8.8.8).  The
new sendmail seems to function fine except that it core dumps
to /var/spool/mqueue and leaves lots of "no control file" 
entries there also (as displayed by mqueue command).  I have to
delete these every day as hundreds build up overnight.
My Makefile in src/obj.OSF1.V4.0.alpha has these lines:
MAPDEF=  -DNEWDB -DNDBM -DNIS -DMAP_REGEX
INCDIRS= -I/usr/local/bind/include
LIBDIRS= -L/usr/shlib -L/usr/local/bind/lib
LIBS=    -ldb -lbind -ldbm
Do you have any any suggestions?  Thanks, I'll summarize.
