Check out sendmail 5.65 with IDA enhancements. The version on osu-cis
(N.B. not in the att7300 directory) with IDA version 1.3.5 will compile on
the 3b1 and does not have a problem with defunct processes. If by
``worm-holes'' you're referring to the mechanism by which Morris invaded
the Internet, that had been fixed as of version 5.58 or thereabouts.

There is a more recent version of the IDA enhancements, but I haven't
check it out yet.
