Strange startup behavior on 5.3-release

[Mike Meyer]

I'm running 5.3-release, and seeing *very* strange behavior on startup.

If I reboot the system, I get the following errors in /var/log/console.log:

Dec 13 17:38:59 guru kernel: Starting sshd.
Dec 13 17:39:00 guru kernel: sendmail: illegal option -- L
Dec 13 17:39:00 guru kernel: sendmail: usage: sendmail [ -t ] [ -fsender ] [ -Fname ] [ -bp ] [
 -bs ] [ arg ... ]

I'm getting those errors because sendmail is set to
/var/qmail/bin/sendmail in /etc/mail/mailer.conf. Since I'm running
qmail, sendmail should be run *at all* at startup.

The really strange thing is that if I shutdown and then restart the
system, without a reboot, I don't see these error messages.

I've traced this down to the sendmail_msp_queue_enable variable in
/etc/rc.conf. If set to yes, that invokes sendmail with the -L option.

There don't appear to be any currently filed bugs related to this
issue, and google didn't turn up anything relevant.

I'm running the GENERIC kernel. I've attached my /etc/rc.conf in case
something there is pertinent.

Any hints as to what would cause this - especially with the two
different behaviors - would be greatly appreciated.

	Thankx,
