[Mailman-Users] admin interface hang

[Jonathan Benson]

Thank you!!

How did you track this problem?

I've found and removed the offending lines in my cookie file and can finally
admin lists again.  :)

This would seem to indicate a bug in mailman's handling of cookies though?!

In my case the offending cookies were for the domain ".com.au"   My mailman
server being at "lists.ocean.com.au".

I've attached the culprits if anyone can figure out why they crash the admin
interface and fix it in a new version so it no longer occurs that would be
great!   Hopefully they don't contain anything important.  :)


Regards

Jon
