Error messages

[Riki Kurihara <riki@hcc.Hawaii.Edu>]

I'm having a little bit of trouble with zmailer handling error messages.  
Whenever someone sends a message to a non-existent user id, the child 
process that scheduler invokes core dumps and the error message never 
gets sent out.  This is on a Sparc10 running Solaris 2.3 and zmailer 2.2e2.
Here's a summary of what I did.


% /usr/lib/sendmail -v rikii
This is a bogus id message
router processed message 105729
s local - riki 1
r error err.nosuchuser rikii 310
headers rewritten using 'null' function:
Received: by mail.hcc.Hawaii.Edu id <105729>; Tue, 26 Apr 1994 11:43:08 -1000

router done processing 105729
scheduler processing 105729
linked to error/113281

(and hangs right here)

---------------

doing a 'mailq' shows

ROOT@serv:/# mailq
error/err.nosuchuser:
        105729:

with a core dump in $POSTOFFICE/scheduler and the error message in 
$POSTOFFICE/scheduler/error/105729  looks like:

i 105729
o 49
l <94Apr26.115428hst.105729@mail.hcc.Hawaii.Edu>
e Riki Kurihara <riki>
v ../public/v_a000b1
s local - riki 1
r~error err.nosuchuser rikii 310

A truss of where it exactly hangs:

Any help would be appreciated.
