	I've experienced exactly the same problem (with the same
configuration), and I am using 2.0.36 kernel with sendmail version 8.9.2,
although it seems to happen only on large emails, and is not happening as
regularly as your problem. The problems are usually initiated by shutting
down either sendmail or MSES IMC, and can only be fixed by removing the
offending email from the IMC queue. Anyway, it's about time you became
familiar with the sendmail innards - looking forward to receiving your patch
