Yes. Quoting the O'Reilly "Bat" book (page 619):
"The -d0.1 command-line switch prevents sendmail from forking and
detaching itself, even when being run with -bd. This is necessary
to see the output produced by other debugging switches when running
sendmail as a daemon."
I'm claiming that doesn't work on the versions I have (8.8.3, 8.8.5) on
FreeBSD 2.1.[57].
