8.11.5/8.11.5 2001/07/31
        Fix a possible race condition when sending a HUP signal to restart
                the daemon. This could terminate the current process without
                starting a new daemon. Problem reported by Wolfgang Breyha
                of SE Netway Communications.
        Only apply MaxHeadersLength when receiving a message via SMTP or
                the command line. Problem noted by Andrey J. Melnikoff.
        When finding the system's local hostname on an IPv6-enabled system
                which doesn't have any IPv6 interface addresses, fall back
                to looking up only IPv4 addresses. Problem noted by Tim
                Bosserman of EarthLink.
        When commands were being rejected due to check_relay or TCP
                Wrappers, the ETRN command was not giving a response.
        Incoming IPv4 connections on a Family=inet6 daemon (using
                IPv4-mapped addresses) were incorrectly labeled as "may be
                forged". Problem noted by Per SteinarIversen of Oslo
                University College.
        Shutdown address test mode cleanly on SIGTERM. Problem noted by
                Greg King of the OAO Corporation.
        Restore the original real uid (changed in main() to prevent
                out of band signals) before invoking a delivery agent.
                Some delivery agents use this for the "From " envelope
                "header". Problem noted by Leslie Carroll of the
                University at Albany.
        Mark closed file descriptors properly to avoid reuse. Problem
                noted by Jeff Bronson of J.D. Bronson, Inc.
        Setting Timeout options on the command line will also override
                their sub-suboptions in the .cf file, e.g., -O
                Timeout.queuereturn=2d will set all queuereturn timeouts
                to 2 days. Problem noted by Roger B.A. Klorese.
        Portability:
                BSD/OS has a broken setreuid() implementation. Problem
                        noted by Vernon Schryver of Rhyolite Software.
                BSD/OS has /dev/urandom(4) (as of version 4.1/199910 ?).
                        Noted by Vernon Schryver of Rhyolite Software.
                BSD/OS has fchown(2). Noted by Dave Yadallee of Netline
                        2000 Internet Solutions Inc.
                Solaris 2.X and later have strerror(3). From Sebastian
                        Hagedorn of Cologne University.
        CONFIG: Fix parsing for IPv6 domain literals in addresses
                (user[IPv6:address]). Problem noted by Liyuan Zhou.
