The true fix, it seems to me, is to replace the `freeze' and `thaw'
code with a compiled .cf format, easily read but independent of
the exact binary version of sendmail and not containing all sorts
of random things that should *not* be saved.
At the same time, the uncompiled format of the configuration file
should be redesigned. And sendmail should be split into many
programs---five at the very least: two queue drivers (one for
input and one for output), an SMTP receiver, an SMTP sender, and
an address rewriter. But I am not about to attempt this myself.
