I just compiled mutt 0.95.1 for an AIX 3.2 box. Everything went fine,
except when I tried to send mail I got a fatal "child exited 64"
error. My sendmail log file says it got an illegal command-line
option: -- (two dashes).
I poked around in sendlib.c and discovered that the command-line mutt
was sending was `sendmail -oem -oi --'. I commented out the line that
added the `--' option and *presto*, everything works fine now.
I understand that the - command line option is to signal the end of
the options list; my question is, what potential catastrophes await me
if it's not there?
Plus, why did I get this error? I assume it's just because I've got an
older version of sendmail ... correct? (how do I find out what version
of sendmail I'm running? There doesn't seem to be any command line
options to make it tell me, plus verbose mode doesn't blurt it out.)
