Hello,

In December of 1999, we replaced our mail server (an aging AlphaServer 400)
with a dual PIII-500 running FreeBSD. Everything transferred over fine, except
for some majordomo lists. On some lists, and only some lists, we get these
errors (usually there's a whole chunk of usernames, but this list must have had
only one local user):

The "chunk is already free" I don't think is related to this problem. Now, this
only happens on majordomo lists, and only for local users. I've asked the
sendmail people, and they don't have any idea what might be going on, and
neither to the FreeBSD people. The archives of all three lists/newsgroups
(FreeBSD, sendmail, and majordomo) don't seem to have similar problems, either.

We're running FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE, sendmail 8.9.3, and majordomo 1.9.4.
