[Sorry for the horrible spelling mistakes on the first try there]

Thanks for the quick fix for the bug found in one of the Python scripts.
I downloaded the new tarball and have run into numerous problems.

1.  All files installed using "make install" are set as owner root.  Is
that right?  Configure picks up the mailman ID and I'm not overriding it
or anything like that.

2.  I run check_perms and I get a thumbs up on everything--no problems.

3.  I chown -R mailman /home/mailman.

4.  Rerun check_perms and it finds 11 problems all related to files that
are not set-gid.  Why did it return differently this time after I set the
owner of all files to mailman?!?

5.  I get nothing at all back from any listname-request alias for any
list.  Nothing in the error logs and the mail log on the host shows the
message was received and delivered to the program without error.

I'm totally stumped.  What kind of debugging can I turn on?  Did some
other bugs work their way into the 2.0.5 code?
