Hello,

My experience with this problem is that it occures even in an early stage of
setup and configuration of majordomo. I did tests on majordomo 1.93 when the
majordomo is not yet populated (i.e. there are no lists yet). 

I have done test using dumb methods like:

$> cat /tmp/foobar | /where/majordomo/is/wrapper majordomo

This worked perfectly well, there were no problems. As soon as I have sent
a message to the alias bound to:

majordomo: "| /where/majordomo/is/wrapper majordomo"

then I get the following message bounced to  postmaster:

   ----- The following addresses had delivery problems -----
"|/where/majordomo/is/wrapper majordomo"  (unrecoverable error)
    (expanded from: <majordomo@math.ethz.ch>)

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
sh: 29698 Memory fault
554 "|/where/majordomo/is/wrapper majordomo"... unknown mailer error 139

   ----- Message header follows -----


At this point NOTHING is written in the /where/majordomo/is/var/Log
Is this a configuration problem with the wrapper or a problem with 
some perl scripts?

I am running a stripped sendmail 8.6 on a sunos 4.1.x machine with perl4

Regards,

K. Saouli
