Claus,

Looks like your bug. As an FYI, sendmail.rpms in Suse, RedHat, and
OpenLinux all exhibit this behavior, which means they're all broken.
Reading an entire file into memory must be a BSD feature. I have
enabled an SSH account for you, so you can come in and debug. Richard
also can get in and will be helping.
