Kernel version is generally unimportant compared with the distribution and
its version and the libraries.

faxrcvd, which is a user customisable script, did an exit (127).

There is no explict exit 127 in pl1, and this is most likely a pass through
of the exit status from sendmail, although it might be generated for
command not found:

bash$ cat fred
#! /bin/bash
nosuchfile
bash$ fred
./fred: nosuchfile: command not found
bash$ echo $?
127
bash$
