>Description:
The sendmail debugging switch "-d0.1" is supposed to keep
sendmail from detaching from the terminal session even when
being run in daemon mode (check page 619 of "the bat book").

In versions 8.8.3 and 8.8.5 (at least), this fails to work.
Instead, sendmail prints out some debugging information about
the contents of some of the macros and then detaches anyway.
Further debugging information is silently discarded.
>How-To-Repeat:
Type "/usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -d0.1"
