Hello!

I have hesitated to write, because I thought my problem was similar to an
early post. But, here goes.

I have been running 1.3.94 for some time now, without any problems. I
have updated libc. I attempted to move to Pre 2.0.7 and have found that
sendmail crashes whenever incoming/outgoing mail arrives. I am running
an Intel DX4/100, 24MB RAM, 36MB Swap, ELF, etc.

Here is the error:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address c0000055
current->tss.cr3 = 00b1d000,
*pde = 00102067

I hope this can be resolved, because I'd like to keep up with the times.
And, not be stuck with no e-mail.
