Thanks to terry at rand-unix.arpa, guyton at rand-unix.arpa, and
hoptoad!gnu at lll-crg.arpa.  A better solution than monkeying
with the dbm library is to change sendmail so that children
of the daemon do initaliases themselves.  (Recall, this is to
cure the problem that the sendmail daemon's notion of the
aliases can become out of date after newaliases.)  4.3bsd
has done this.
