 There is a bug in the Perl distribution of RedHat 5.2, which makes
Majordomo and some CGI scripts buggy. Just take a look at Red Hat support:
http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/rhl/rh52-errata-general.html

There is a rpm patch at
ftp://updates.redhat.com/5.2/i386/perl-5.004m7-1.i386.rpm 

Update your system with

     rpm -Uvh perl-5.004m7-1.i386.rpm

This is documented in the latest FAQ, which is _not_ the version in the
majordomo 1.94.4 distribution, but is much more frequently updated at

Microsoft has just announced it is renaming Windows NT version 5 to
"Windows 2000."
Is that the ultimate millennium bug or what?
