I've resumed my attempts to get Pipermail working on my system with some
stock data (Ken Manheimer hooked me up with some matrix-sig archives)...I
was having some problems earlier with Pythong not being able to find the
bsddb module (I asked Andrew about it)...turns out that Python distro I
had was whack (it was 1.5.1-4, for reference; upgrading to -18 seems to
have fixed it).  So, after upgrading, I tried running...seemed to be doing
ok...it was 500+ articles in and hit this:

Processing article #508 into archives ['1996q1.matrix-sig']
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "pysig.py", line 310, in ?

    date=time.mktime(date)-tzoffset

Anyone know what the story is with this?  I'm too inexperienced/clueless
for this to be obvious (if it is).
