I've got a directors file that I'm trying to use and smail bombs out if
I have the following two entries in it:

# aliasinclude - expand ":include:filename" addresses produced by alias files
aliasinclude:
	driver = aliasinclude,		# use this special-case driver
	nobody;				# associate nobody user with addresses
					#  when mild permission violations
					#  are encountered

	copysecure,			# get permissions from alias director
	copyowners			# get owners from alias director

# forwardinclude - expand ":include:filename" addrs produced by forward files
forwardinclude:
	driver = forwardinclude,	# use this special-case driver
	nobody;

	copysecure,			# get perms from forwarding director
	copyowners			# get owners from forwarding director


All other entries work fine, but when I run "/usr/lib/sendmail -bd -q30m"
and I have the above two entries in the directors file, it just
terminates.  It says "/usr/lib/smail/directors:" and that's all when it
terminates.  I don't know what the problem is and I don't know how to
get a more descriptive error message.  Does anyone have any ideas as to
what could be causing this?
