We are having trouble with ower sendmail binary
every time it is run it comes back with a bus error

I ran it through gdb and this is what I get 

I don't know what other information might be usefull 
but see what you can come up with.

the only thing that does not give a bus error is

sendmail -C/etc/sendmail/sendmail.cf 

which I don't understand because shouldn't sendmail be useing this
config file already
