Subject: "lists" command broken on my system

I'm hoping someone here can help me with this:

We recently upgraded our system from a SPARC Solbourne to a SYSV SGI
Challenger.  We are still running Majordomo version 1.62.

Everything related to Majordomo seems to be fine, except that the
"lists" command returns a null list:

>>>> lists
Majordomo@world.std.com serves the following lists:


Use the 'info <list>' command to get more information
about a specific list.
>>>> 


As far as we can tell, this is the only command not working correctly.
We can't figure out what's going on.  Help?

The only relationship I can think to add is that the SGI can't take
huge argument lists to commands like the Solbourne could.  We run a
lot of lists, and I used to be able to do stuff like 

	egrep -i username *

in the majordomo/Lists directory, and now I have to break it up like
this:
	egrep -i username [a-h]*
	egrep -i username [i-p]*
	egrep -i username [q-z]*
