It needs a few. There (last time I peeked) were a few un-escaped @
symbols, but the most nasty bug and the one it sounds like you're
describing, is that majordomo will go in to a memory-eating loop and chew
your system if it can't write to its logfile.
With majordomo and problems, the order of things is "check the
permissions, check them again, do it a few more times, and then see
what else may be wrong." Check your permissions. :)
The only other "bugs" i've found that will cause it to eat memory are
some infinite mail-looping possibilities which get it in to a game of tag
with syslog and an ever-increasing message length.
