[Christian Reis]

A set of bugs bit me today. Basically, the steps to get to this point
were:

- I created a mailing list.
- I did *not* add the aliases.
- I subscribed myself using the mail interface (digest off)
- I received the confirmation email. When using the HTML link to confirm
  (since the aliases were not added yet, and I realized it), I got the
  error below. 
  
- When confirming it via reply (just after adding the aliases) I now
  always get the the invalid confirmation string message.

The HTML error:

    Bug in Mailman version 2.1b5

    We're sorry, we hit a bug!

    If you would like to help us identify the problem, please email a copy
    of this page to the webmaster for this site with a description of what
    happened. Thanks!
