Yep, almost all my Unix problems are caused by my lack of knowledge.

Darn! why do I have to be the exception!? My UID/GID are exactly the
same in the makefile as defined in etc/passwd, yet majordomo requests
crunch almost forever. And finally end with the imfamous "Out of
Memory" error message. I have read the FAQ at least four times &
can find no reason that Perl 4.036/Majordomo V1.93 would behave
this way. I'm sure that it's a dumb error on my part, but cannot
*FIND* it...??
