Before anyone does complain, can I just point out that it appears to
have been fixed already for at least 10 months:
$ /usr/sbin/sendmail -bV
Exim version 2.05 #1 built 7-Nov-1998 00:31:06
Copyright (c) University of Cambridge 1998
$ /usr/sbin/sendmail -- -bV
bla

$
And I got an error message by e-mail:
# A message that you sent could not be delivered to all of its recipients. The
# following address(es) failed:
