I have had something like this happen to me once also.  Try removing the
/usr/lib/sendmail.fc file before starting up the newly compiled sendmail.

Also, do a "ps aux | grep sendmail" and kill off any of them that are running
before starting up the new sendmail.

You can then freeze the config file via /usr/lib/sendmail -bz
