 The problem arises with openssl 0.9.8g because, unlike 0.9.7i, it enables 
 threading on BSD operating systems.
 
 See line 126 onwards from openssl's Configure file:
 # As for $BSDthreads. Idea is to maintain "collective" set of flags,
 # which would cover all BSD flavors. -pthread applies to them all,
 # but is treated differently. OpenBSD expands is as -D_POSIX_THREAD
 # -lc_r, which is sufficient. FreeBSD 4.x expands it as -lc_r,
 # which has to be accompanied by explicit -D_THREAD_SAFE and
 # sometimes -D_REENTRANT. FreeBSD 5.x expands it as -lc_r, which
 # seems to be sufficient?
 my $BSDthreads="-pthread -D_THREAD_SAFE -D_REENTRANT";
 
 This is entirely missing from 0.9.7i. A simple workaround for the problem 
 with sendmail in this case is:

 I can confirm this fixes sendmail for NetBSD 3.0 and 4.0 (-current 
 untested).
