Summary: Subscribe requests dropped from admin db

Initial Comment:
Occasionally, subscribe requests (via the web page) to a list that 
requires moderator approval for subscriptions never make it to the 
admin db for that list.  They are listed in the subscribe log file, but 
never show up on the admin db page.

Log file entries look like this:

Oct 10 18:43:43 2002 (31168) eventmasters: pending   
XXXXXX.swfla.rr.com

But the admin db page for the list shows no outstanding issues.

I have verified that there was an actual subscription request 
behind this log entry.

I have a pending.pck file as well as a subscribe log that show subscription attempts that require approval for which I have not gotten admin requests, nor have they shown up in the web interface.

I am loath to attach them here as they contain live email addresses.  Shoot me an email at md at pdc-racing.net and I can get them to you.  Then I'll kill this address.  :)

I suppose it's possible that those two patches are causing it, but it seems unlikely.

What information can I provide that will help you track this down?  It's kind of a bummer.

I definitely need more information.  I've neve been able to
reproduce the problem.  Do you think it could be related to
the unofficial patches you've applied?

Ok, I verified that it's still a problem under 2.1b5 with the htdig and 
indexing patches.

It's a real drag, too.  :(

Please let me know if you need more debug info.

Unfortunately, it's still occurring under 2.1b4.  

I'll check it under 2.1b5 as soon as the patches for htdig integration are 
released, as I need those to implement.

I'm going to defer this one until 2.1b4 goes out.  I've
fixed some related bugs in cvs, so hopefully this will be
fixed in the new version.

What version of Mailman are you using.  It's import to know
the exact version, i.e. 2.1beta3, or if you're running from
cvs.  A lot of these problems have been fixed in cvs, which
will soon be released as 2.1 beta 4.

I just verified, by cat'ing pending.pck, that the appropriate changes 
seem to be in there.  But the web interface never picks them up.
