[Mailman-Developers] Authentication errors in admin pages.

[Chuq Von Rospach]

Someone brought this up a couple of days ago, and I mentioned I'd been
seeing something similar.

Here's the traceback I'm seeing. I see it intermittently, usually if I'm
going through a number of lists, one after another. It never happens on the
first list, but on one of the later ones. And if I hit the "refresh" button
on the browser, it goes away and brings up the password page just fine
(that's why I never mentioned it; I was sort of assuming it was a weird
interaction between python, cookies and mod_layout, and hadn't had time to
debug it. It might STILL be that, for all I know...)

Any thoughts on what this traceback is telling us, I'd be happy to hear and
test... Especially since the refresh of the page makes it leave again...

Yes, yes, I've finally finished my home page. Lucky you.
