I've recently picked up a fresh copy of sendmail (5.59) from berkeley,
( also bind 4.8 ) and applied the IDA patches ( revision 1.2.1 from
the INSTALL file dated Aug 27 ).  Usually the code works perfectly, but
on rare occasions it will seemingly go into a loop:
   @acheron%@acheron ....

until it says expansion too long. The problem is not repeatable - I can
send the very same message from the very same machine and it will work
perfectly.  All of the loops have been from mail that comes in via smtp
and all have been from other local machines in the same domain.  Once
the problem starts I have to 'su' and kill sendmail.  I wind up with
tons of ?f* files in /usr/spool/mqueue that all refer to the same message
(most are truncated).

Has anyone else seen something like this?  If not, then I'll just go
back and grab fresh copies of everything and try again.
