Can we please get the following patch added to alpha 8? It was posted to
users.

Anyway, I've noticed that on heavily loaded systems, sometimes an 
unsubscribe will truncate a list down to 0 bytes. I've tracked this bug 
down to an error in the unsubscribe routine. Right now, the fix is putting a 
check that the prints were successful 

print NEW  $_ || &abort("blablabla");

and also before the original list is deleted:

if ($match_count == 1 && -s NEW) {

Anyone know of a better way to fix this, preferably a way to have 
sendmail requeue the remove request for a retry?

Thanks
