I've been trying to get aliases to work properly with the distributed
sendmail, but I've run into several problems.

First of all, my alias file is pretty big (300+ aliases), it works great
on all of the other platforms here (SUN, IBM, HP, SGI), but not on 386BSD.
When I do a 'sendmail -bi' to initialize the alias dbase, sendmail stops
with a segmentation fault.  I ran sendmail with gdb and found that it was
breaking in some of the btree code (from libc).

Ok, no problem get the latest version of the db code and rebuild libc,
right?  Unfortunately no, the latest version of the db code (from
okeefe.cs.berkeley.edu) doesn't have R_PUT and a couple of other things
that the distribution sendmail needs.

So I now have a slight broken sendmail, an old db library and the new db
library.  Does anyone have any of the following:

  1) working sendmail (patches or full source would be great)
  2) the latest source for sendmail
  3) working db routines (patches or source)
  4) any other useful information...
