Hi:

	I have 386bsd 0.1 at patch level 0.2.1.  I know that this is not the
current patch level but right now this machine is working great for all that
we are using it for and I am hesitant to do anything more to it.  I am now
having one problem with /usr/bin/newaliases.  Basically it writes about 24
bytes to /etc/aliases.db and then quits with a segmentation fault.  I've been
poking around in the sendmail src trying to build a new version of it
but I am not a real programmer and am stuck when it starts talking about
undeclared functions and such.  It appears though that
/usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/aux/newaliases.c and the other .c files in that
directory aren't getting used or built when a make of sendmail is performed.
Do you all have any suggestions as to how I can get newaliases to work?  Do
I have to get the latest patch kit or (gulp) get into NetBSD?  Thanks for all
your help, past and present!
