Someone attempted to subscribe to one of my lists this evening using the
following syntax:

subscribe list --

And majordomo (1.93) got into a loop sending the originator and myself
hundreds of "hostile address" messages.  This large number of messages
seems to be overkill.  Has anyone seen this before?  Is there a
workaround?  Is it fixed in 1.94a4?
