Thanks to last night's check-in from Robert with the fix to mkstemp wrapper 
function, I've managed to build a sendfax which does not segfault. However, I 
now see the problem you report above:

[darren@ducent darren]$ /usr/bin/sendfax -d123 < /etc/hosts
553 Unable to open sequence number file docq/seqf; File exists.


In private mail to me you suggested:

I'll try that and see where I get. How could something so fundamental have gotten broken!!??
