Under SunOS 4, sendmail 8.7.1 is linked statically using the supplied
Makefile.  For SunOS 5, it is a dynamic executable, again using the default
Makefile.  So, for SunOS 4 and SunOS 5 (if you compiled it statically), you
need to rebuild sendmail to get the latest syslog subroutine.  If you did
linked sendmail dynamically under SunOS 5, then loading the patches above will
suffice.

BTW - the following patches are available for SunOS 4.X.  Note that these are
the international and not domestic patches.

        100891-13 - SunOS 4.1.3
        101558-07 - SunOS 4.1.3_U1
        102545-03 - SunOS 4.1.4
