Elias Manesiotis's CPU sent forth this bytestream:
| Has anybody compiled and used succesfully sendmail 8.8.5 on SCO 3.2v4.2?
| Sendmail 8.8.4 and 8.8.5 dont close the connection leaving idle proccesses
| all over the place. Is there a patch for this?  

SCO just released oss443 on its web/ftp servers, and it's on
CompuServe too. It provides sendmail 8.8.5 (for OSR 5 systems).

You will note that the question was related to SCO 3.2v4.2 (!)

I have had the same troubles Elias mentions.

There seems to be a bug(?) within v4.2, which causes wait() to hang
while SIGCHLD is blocked. The child of the process which called both
SIG_BLOCK and wait() exits and becomes <defunct>, the father stands within
wait() and waits for the termination of the <defunct> process [?].

As I understand my POSIX book, there is no relation between SIGCHLD and
wait() [?].

Solution: When you comment the blocksignal(SIGCHLD) call within
          srvrsmtp.c/function runinchild() then no processes (neither
          waiting nor <defunct> are left.
          DISCLAIMER: I have no idea which other troubles you may run
                      into when doing so.

Assuredly not.

     Do you think this will work on SCO version 3.2v4.0
