Errr.  This sounds like a relnotes thing too...guess I ought to 
think (quickly) about this.

Just so I have this straight, this problem came about because of the
change to master.passwd, not because of any code change in sendmail
(which, if I read my relnotes right, hasn't changed between 4.4-RELEASE
and 4.5-RC).  Right?

Is this because there are fewer processes running as daemon?
