Subject: majordomo core dumps on OSF1

Hi - I'm new to the list, and to majordomo.  I hope someone will be able 
to help me out - even if it means pointing out a stupid error.  :)  I'm 
trying to set up Majordomo-1.93 on a Digital Unix V3.2 (OSF1) machine.
I'm using sendmail 8.6.12/8.6.9.

I started by installing everything, creating a user and group 'majordom' 
and creating $homedir and $listdir with owner and group majordom and 
permissions 775 and 664.  It compiled with the non-POSIX Makefile, but 
when I tried to invoke it manually it gave some error telling me to 
recompile as POSIX.  I was able to do that when I specified the value of 
uid and gid in the makefile, rather than the name.

I put this in my aliases:

Majordomo-Owner: daniel@hartco.ca
owner-majordomo: daniel@hartco.ca
majordomo: "|/usr/local/majordomo-1.93/wrapper majordomo"
#
testlist: :include:/usr/local/mail/lists/testlist
owner-testlist: daniel
testlist-request: "|/usr/local/majordomo-1.93/wrapper majordomo -l testlist"
testlist-approval: daniel

I tried sending it mail, and at first it replied with with an unknown 
mailer error.  I tried starting up majordomo manually with

        echo "subscribe" | /usr/local/majordomo-1.93/wrapper \
                request-answer testlist

and it replied:

Undefined subroutine &main::lopen called at
/usr/local/majordomo-1.93/majordomo.pl line 229, <STDIN> line 1.

Up to this point I was using perl5.001.  I recompiled perl4.036 and now 
the little test above has no errors.  However if I send mail to majordomo 
now, I get the reponse:

   ----- The following addresses had delivery problems -----
"|/usr/local/majordomo-1.93/wrapper majordomo"  (unrecoverable error)
    (expanded from: majordomo@magrathea.hartco.ca)

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
Message delivered to mailing list majordomo@magrathea.hartco.ca
sh: 9667 Memory fault - core dumped
554 "|/usr/local/majordomo-1.93/wrapper majordomo"... unknown mailer 
error 139

Any ideas?  I did 'make test' for perl when I installed it and all tests 
passed.  sendmail works properly, and I am able to send mail with the 
sendmail command specified in majordomo.cf.  wrapper is owned by root and 
setuid.  If I type 'wrapper majordomo' it core dumps, so perhaps for some 
reason it's not being piped input??

Any help at all would be appreciated.

- Daniel
