Unless the bug is fixed before sendmail 8.13 is shipped, 8.13 will change the default locking method to fcntl() for Linux kernel 2.4 and later. You may want to do this in 8.12 by compiling with -DHASFLOCK=0. Be sure to update other sendmail related programs to match locking techniques. Is it really broken or is sendmail smoking crack like when they said that itimers in Linux didn't work? David
