After installing majordomo 1.93 on a linux box with Perl 5.003, messages go 
out to the test list I've set up just fine. 

However, whenever I send an admin message to majordomo, i.e., 'subscribe',
or 'info', majordomo then starts up and runs away, eating up 95% of memory
and processor time, bringing the machine to it's knees. 

If I kill the process, it restarts on its own after several minutes, and 
immediately runs away again.  This repeats 3-4 times, then finally 
responds to the info or subcribe message--with a blank response.

I've checked:

* permissions--all set up as specified in the README

* compiling of the 'wrapper' program--The Makefile said to go non posix 
for linux, but when I did, I got an error message in response to test 
messages I sent: 'unknown mailer--recompile with posix options'.

* obvious errors in the perl scripts--they appear to be fine except for 
the perl paths, which I adjusted after installation to point to the right 
place.

I got no error messages when compiling the wrapper, and the install 
script worked without incident.

Ideas anyone? Thanks in advance...
