incomplete deliveries

We've been running sendmail 8.12.9 with majordomo 1.95 on a Sun box 
(Solaris 7) without issue for some time. We have quite a few lists with 
up to 5,000 addresses. We use bulk_mailer to inject these in to sendmail.

While I doubt this is a majordomo specific issue I'm sure there are some 
sendmail gurus hanging around here and I'm running out of ideas so here 
goes.

We recently upgraded sendmail to 8.13.6 which I compiled from source. 
Now we find that when majordomo lists are executed, bulk_mail doesn't 
complete the entire run. We've run it in debug mode and it processes 
everything fine but just stops at a random point with no errors and 
leaving hundreds of messages not injected to sendmail.

I suspect some kind of timing error with sendmail but as far as I can 
see the new version was compiled virtually the same as the old version.

If this rings a bell with anyone or if you have suggestions on tests I 
can do to track down what is causing this, I would be most grateful.

Cheers.
