frequently, 255 indicates an error in the perl scripts. i do not
run linux and have no experience with it. if i purposely break
majordomo, i get the following returned to me in a mail message (in my
role as one of majordom, owner-majordomo, majordomo-owner, list-owner etc..)
Message delivered to mailing list m <majordomo@kryten.atinc.com>

try extracting majordomo to another directory and diff the script
files. either the are the same and the problem lies elsewhere or explain
the differences to your own satisfaction. ;))
