That would be a good thing I suspect..

I'm expecting sendmail-8.7.2 to be released RSN, it's in prerelease right 
now pending last minute testing..  If no show-stoppers are found within 
the next day or so, it's going out.  I was planning on bringing in 8.7.2 
after the dust had settled, but this was an annoying enough problem to 
warrant a fix suitable for 2.1 :-)
