Re: scheduler 2.99.38 core dumps

[Julio Polo <julio@hawaii.edu>]

I noticed that the recipient lines in the control file ALL have extra spaces.
Could this cause the scheduler to die?  I verified that they are spaces,
not tabs.  If so, I guess I have to find out why the router wrote such a
control file.  I was using the SMTP+UUCP.cf router configuration file.
