Hi,

Platform:

	NetBSD-1.1/i386
	perl5.003

Problems:

1. The old problem I've seen of majordomo using excessive CPU time and
   eventually exceeding stack or data size continued.  I "solved" this
   by ripping the logging code out and using syslog instead.

   If anyone is interested I can send diffs.

2. There were a number of items missing from the example majordomo.cf
   file, including one missing '\' on a '@'.

	$whoami = "Majordomo\@$whereami";

   The missing bits:

	$sendmail_command = "/usr/sbin/sendmail";
	$MAX_HEADER_LINE_LENGTH = 1024;
	$MAX_TOTAL_HEADER_LENGTH = 16 * 1024;

3. The 'approve' script has "/usr/lib/sendmail" hard coded into it.

With these changes made, majordomo *seems* to be working.

I'm guessing now that the problem with the logging code (or the
problem perl has with the logging code) is the reason I couldn't make
1.93 work but I haven't gone back to check.

Regards,

Giles
