Comment 1 Thomas Woerner 2004-01-15 10:15:39 UTC 
I can not reproduce this.
Comment 2 Kasper Dupont 2004-03-05 09:13:41 UTC 
I managed to get a core dump from a segfaulting newaliases command.

https://www.daimi.au.dk/~kasperd/newaliases/core

The core dump was produced by copying /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail to
/root/bin/newaliases, removing suid bit from the copy, and finaly
executing the command "while /root/bin/newaliases ; do true ; done".
