Pre2.0-8 & Sendmail

I just upgraded from 1.3.100 to Pre2.0-8 and it appears that sendmail has
broke. Whenever anyone attemps to sendmail from this system or incomming
mail from the "outside" world appears, I get the following error message:

May 28 08:05:31 mike sendmail[217]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): cannot
lockf(/etc/aliases.dir, fd=6, type=1, omode=37777777777, euid=0): Device
or resource busy

Rebooting back into 1.3.100 corrects the problem so I belive all my
permissions and things are fine. I would really like to check out the new
PPP fixes, but can't untill I get this problem fixed.

BTW, someone on irc thought it might be the flock problem, but I do run
the 5.3.12 & 4.7.6 libc's. (Havent seen a flock since I upgraded to those
libs.)

This is the version of send mail that I run;

sendmail[108]: starting daemon (8.6.12): SMTP+queueing@00:15:00

TIA,

John
