Sorry if this is old news, but I just got bit by a rather arcane bug in
majordomo. Seems that I'd been diff'ing some lists and left a scratch
file lying around that was owned by me and unreadable by mj. Someone
subsequently mails a which request to mj causing do_which to pick up
this file as a list file. When it tries to check to see if the requester
is mentioned in this file it gets an open error and aborts at line 467.
Unfortunately, the abort message uses $_, whereas the open uses $list,
to identify the failing list name, so the abort message is, shall we
say, less than informative. Here's the fix (line numbers refer to the
original 1.93 distribution):

! open(LIST, "$listdir/$list") || &abort("Can't open list $listdir/$_");
while (<LIST>) {
$_ = &chop_nl($_);
if (&addr_match($_, $subscriber, 1)) {
