I should say that I did not read sendmail 5.65 source carefully when I
posted previsous article. I cannot prove that such a macro is used
outside the function.
But at my site, $g often changed to scratched value before I modified
sendmail 5.65 as I posted before. I will check it again.

This is true. Previous patch was not correct.
