Thanks to all who have responded to my query.  The problem seems to 
have been caused by the sendmail (8.7.3) that I compiled and installed
in place of the original 8.6.whatever.   I noticed that several error
messages immediately before the crashes mentioned a sendmail problem
(not always the same problem...), so I put the old sendmail back
and the thing hasn't so much as burped for four days.  I'll 
recompile sendmail and (maybe more importantly) create a
new sendmail.cf rather than adapting one from another machine...

Thanks again.  -Ted Zateslo
