     I tried it on 1.6.1 using all four versions of the pthread library
that were available in pkgsrc.  The pthread library that is "blessed"
is GNU pth.  When I used that, the slaves would crash when sendmail
would try to connect to them.  The next one I tried was
unproven-pthreads.  With this one, the multiplexor found the slave busy
when sendmail tried to connect, so it would kill the slave and return a
tempfail error to sendmail.  The other two, mit-pthreads and ptl2,
we're too old.  Both of them included ancient versions of resolv.h
which prevented libmilter from building.  I might have been able to
make libmilter build, but it would have been a lot of work.  At this
point, as far as I'm concerned, MIMEDefang does not run on NetBSD
1.6.1, unless somebody can demonstrate to me otherwise.
