Subject: problems with -C option in 1.92

Hi all,

  Like the rest of the world I have just upgraded to 1.92 which is
working fine except for the -C option for majordomo.

I use Majordomo to run two seperate list managers on one server.  One
is listmanager@nasa.gov and the other is listserv@pobox.nasa.gov.
the domains nasa.gov and pobox.nasa.gov are cnames for the host
naic.nasa.gov.  

With the old version I was able to specify an alternate .cf file and
create the illusion of two separate groups of lists on one machine.
However since the upgrade, a 'lists' command sent to
listserv@pobox.nasa.gov returns the lists that are actually handled by
listmanager@nasa.gov.

I discovered that the correct .cf file is being "evaled" during the
eval(`cat $cf`) command, but for some reason by the time do_lists is
called the $listdir, $whoami etc variables are incorrect.

Did the -C functionality change in the new version?  Or have I gone
drainbead :)  

Thanks!

Alex
