Hello Russ,

When we went through the whole "multiple charges with payflow" issue we
were also experiencing intermittent problems with sendmail and pgp.
They would fail with 3072 in pgp and sendmail would log the "unable to
send mail" message.  After working with Orko and Mike to come up with a
solution to the verisign problem the problems with sendmail and pgp went
away as well.  The verisign errors were related to memory as well, but
that wasn't what was happening.  Mike narrowed it down to a problem with
Perl's signal handling and offered us a fix.  Please read this message
for the details:
