Sendmail 8.9.1 upgrade database problem

[Stuart Trusty <stuart@linuxlabs.com>]

hi Guys.

While trying to fix some other problems on my Alpha, I upgraded to
Sendmail 8.9.1-15 and saw the message:

"The format of sendmails databases has changed (now using libdb2)."
"You *MUST* update your databases (newaliases, users, etc.)"
"before allowing sendmail to restart."

i use virtusertable.db files, and i thought this would be easy, but i found
that "makemap -v dbm" is "not supported" and that all hash tables are now
unreadable in /var/log/mail.warn.  my "text" based databases also give "554
rewrite:  excessive recursion (max 50), ruleset 3" when addressing the virtual
users, and now i also get "sendmail: unimplemented OSF mmap flags 0201"
constantly, although that error does not seem to be impacting mail delivery. 

however, all my virtual users are in limbo and i look more stupid than
usual.  any help anywhere?  much appreciated
