All smail images (smail, mqueue, sendmail, ...) crash with some settings
of the TZ envariable. They will crash with illegal settings,
unfortunately they will also crash with legal settings that smail doesn't
understand. You should try to provide smail either no $TZ at all or very
simple settings like "TZ=XYZ-12".
Just in case: This has _nothing_ to do with kernel time functionality. It
must be due to limitations/bugs in the MiNTlib that the common smail
binary was linked with.
Maybe httpd has the same problems because Jan-Paul Schmidt uses a MiNTlib
that is based on a very old version. On the other hand, I can't remember
such crashes with httpd.
