Ive been trying to setup majordomo with little or no avail.  When Majordomo
is running -- when I send it asking for help, it replies just fine.  But when
I ask to be subscribed to any list or do anything with Majordomo, it decides
to take a core for some odd reason.  Here are is the bug that appears 
when I run Majordomo (v 1.9.3 with fbsd)

here's what happens when I send a msg with the body of 'lists' command on it:
---------------------------------- begin email reply from majordomo
--

>>>> lists
majordomo serves the following lists:

---------------------------------- end email reply from majordomo
 (It sometimes list a few things, 
sometimes not.  For instance, what happened right before I got this email --
the coredump message)

----------------------------- begin coredump message
This is a MIME-encapsulated message

The problems I get are similar to this when i try to perform any other 
command.  I believe I have everything setup properly -- my config file is:

---------------------------------------- begin majordomo.cf
# $whereami -- What machine am I running on?
$whereami = "technix.org";

# $whoami -- Who do users send requests to me as?
$whoami = "majordomo@$whereami";

# $whoami_owner -- Who is the owner of the above, in case of problems?
$whoami_owner = "majordomo-owner@$whereami";

# $homedir -- Where can I find my extra .pl files, like majordomo.pl?
# the environment variable HOME is set by the wrapper
$homedir = "/usr/home/majordom/bin";

# $listdir -- Where are the mailing lists?
$listdir = "/usr/home/majordom/bin/lists";

# $digest_work_dir -- the parent directory for digest's queue area
# Each list must have a subdirectory under this directory in order for
# digest to work. E.G. The bblisa list would use:
# 	/usr/local/mail/digest/bblisa
# as its directory.
$digest_work_dir = '/usr/home/majordom/bin/digest';

# $log -- Where do I write my log?
$log = "$homedir/Log";

# $mailer -- What program and args do I use to send mail?
# The variable $to can be interpolated into this command line,
# however the $to variable is provided by the person sending mail,
# and much mischief can be had by playing with this variable.
# Use $to with care.
$mailer = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -f\$sender -t";

# Majordomo will look for "get" and "index" files related to $list in
# directory "$filedir/$list$filedir_suffix", so set $filedir and
# $filedir_suffix appropriately.  For instance, to look in
# /usr/local/mail/files/$list, use:
#   $filedir = "/usr/local/mail/files";
#   $filedir_suffix = "";		# empty string
# or to look in $listdir/$list.archive, use:
#   $filedir = "$listdir";
#   $filedir_suffix = ".archive";

$filedir = "$listdir";
$filedir_suffix = ".archive";

# What command should I use to process an "index" request?
$index_command = "/bin/ls -lRL";

# If you want to use FTPMAIL, rather than local access, for file transfer
# and access, define the following:
#   $ftpmail_address = "ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com";
#   $ftpmail_location = "FTP.$whereami";

# if you want the subject of the request to be included as part of the
# subject of the reply (useful when automatically testing, or submitting
# multiple command sets), set $return_subject to 1.
$return_subject = 1;

# If you are using majordomo at the -request address, set the
# following variable to 1. This affects the welcome message that is
# sent to a new subscriber as well as the help text that is generated.
$majordomo_request = 0;

# Set the umask for the process. Used to set default file status for
# config file.
umask(007);

# the safe locations for archive directories. This should be defined as
# a series of root anchored directory paths as will be used as prefixes
# to the file names specified to the archive2.pl script.
@archive_dirs = ( "/spool/archive/bblisa", "/usr/spool/archive/firewalls" );


# Set this to 1 if you want to use the experimental mechanism for allowing
# / in user names. People with lots of X.400 addresses on their lists or
# HP mail whatever may want to set this. However use it at your own risk.
$analyze_slash_in_address = 0;

#
# these tune the experimental matching that is done for addresses with / in
# them. If you haven't turned on the experimental analyze_slash_in_address
# they are ignored. See the source for full explanation of these variables.
#
# if set to 1 ignore the requirement that addresses have an @ sign in the
# address component after the last /.
$no_x400at=0;
# if set to 1 do not look for "/c=" and "/ad=" or "/am=" in the address.
# X.400 seems to require these components.
$no_true_x400=0;

Sorry for flooding with a long email but I felt this would help solve the 
problems that I am having by exhibiting everything.  Ive tried for a few 
days to solve the coredump problem with little or no luck.  Any help 
would be appreciated!

Jon
