This is a fix I submitted way back in 1.93 days. In fact, I put
in changes that also verified that the subscriber list had only
one address removed as a further sanity check (that's what the
match_count check is). If this isn't in 1.94, something is seriously
wrong. Maybe the patch just didn't get merged into '94 properly??
I'm just starting a new job, and don't have my majordomo sources off
tape yet, so I can't check myself. I do have the patch I submitted way
back when. I've attached it.
