i've got a pc running 1.1 with 64M ram, 1.2G ide drive (bleah!) and the
customer is disinterested in upgrading to 1.2 at this time.  "too much
downtime" he says.  whatever.  anyway...the users on this particular
machine use pine to read/send email and when sending mail, sendmail
receives a SIGFPE approximately four of every five attempts to send.
sometimes this results in a few files in mqueue sometimes with, sometimes
without the qf necessary for sendmail to notice it.  either way, the mail
does not get sent.

when i first checked it out, they had 8.6.12, which i promptly upgraded to
8.8.4 and that seemed (to me, at least) to make the problem go away.  they
say it's back.

outside of the obvious solutions (replace the box, upgrade to 1.2 or
current) has anyone out there seen this?  does anyone have any clues
about why it might be doing this?  does someone more conversant with
sendmail (i don't have much more than a passing familiarity with it)
have any idea what it's using floating point for?
