This particular problem was with parsing errors in the mailrc file. An extra space around an "=" was the problem in this case (*WE* were amused (:-)) Before that, another error was found to be *NOT* having an rc file (and the necessary adjunct, an unreadable rc file. And yet another was an accidental erasure of "sendmail.cf" which was restored. Mailx works fine now, but is *VERY* touchy. Individual users can crash their copies by not being careful in their .mailrc file. Fixes, reportedly, are in the works...
