[comp.mail.sendmail] SVR4.0 & UCB sendmail 5.65

Hi,

This is the first time that I am working on sendmail (other that using
it). Our development is on a SVR4.0 system and I am working on
UCB sendmail 5.65. With few changes I can have sendmail working 
as long as it is NOT reading from a frozen configuration
file. However, if it is made to read from a frozen configuration file
it gives no error in the thaw() routine BUT later it causes other
problems in malloc() etc. Since we have ELF executables, looking at
the FROZEN code it looks as if it is for a.out format & would NOT work
on ELF executables. I am sure there are people making it work on
SVR4 machines. I would like to know if they had the same problem OR
are we the only one?

I guess it must be taking a big performance hit without reading the
frozen config giles.

Thanks,

/Pradeep
