This is when I entered my email address, name,
password, and clicked [subscribe]. This might be a
misconfiguration, but it would be nice to know what
exactly is wrong.

Mailman version 2.1.2

appearently the same bug exists for unsubscribing or
requesting a password reminder. e.g. at
http://bksys.at/mailman/listinfo/test
I'll see if there is already an update for debian/testing
that fixes the bug.

[Darsie (darsie)]

The debian/unstable package 2.1.2-6 fixes both bugs.

[Iku-users (iku-users)]

Looks like this problem is *unstable* python problem. In my
case fixed by installing a stable python version.

[Barry Warsaw (barry)]

Looks like this is not a bug any more.
