I've built and installed the latest version (8.8.6) on my 2.2.2-RELEASE
box, but now when I start sendmail it logs "unable to write
/var/run/sendmail.pid" errors in the maillog. I've not changed any
permissions, and never saw this with 8.8.5.

Any ideas on how to stop this would be gratefully received.
