I have compiled sendmail with the patch to fix the recent mail virus
and ran into a problem with the undefined function 'dn_skip'.  I look
into the resolver directory (/usr/src/etc/bind4.7.3/res) and found
'dn_skipname' instead of 'dn_skip'.  I also looked into bind4.7.2/res
and found 'dn_skip' in the file 'res_comp.c'.

These two functions claim  to perform the same operation (namely
they skip over a compressed domain name and return the size or -1).
However, 'dn_skipname' wants two arguments instead of one likes
'dn_skip'.  I have remade all the libraries to reflect bind4.7.3
and would like to keep them that way.  How can sendmail be changed
so that it can use bind4.7.3 resolver?   Thanks for any hints and
help.
