Michal Zalewski, patch from Todd C. Miller of Courtesan Consulting.

Fix a potential buffer overflow in ruleset parsing.  This problem
is not exploitable in the default sendmail configuration;
only if non-standard rulesets recipient (2), final (4), or
mailer-specific envelope recipients rulesets are used then
a problem may occur.  Problem noted by Timo Sirainen."

emerge sync
emerge sendmail
emerge clean
