  I haven't finished tracking it down because of priorities, but I've had
some problems on 5.2.1 with sendmail and later OpenLDAP client software
(> 2.0).  When linked against sendmail (LDAP-enabled, so obviously not
stock), it won't pass some of the tests.

  I'm going on notes, so bear with me a bit.

  On 3/30 (a bit ago), it looked to me like there may have been a library
incompatibility and just linking sendmail against openldap was causing it
to fail its self tests (during the build).  Sendmail was playing some games
with timers (their own copy of "sleep", for example) and my thought was
that there was some incompatible itimer stuff going on between the two in
later versions of the LDAP libraries.

  I just never got a chance to chase it down all the way and propose
patches.
