Ok, I have found the problem. The check routines that validate an e-mail address does not pick up addresses with spaces in them. Thus, the following will cause an ABEND:
richarde. test@eskom.co.za
Easy to reproduce. It must be in the code that checks e-mail addresses against a regular expression.
Well, I doubt that it will be fixed as I submitted a patch against sync_members to allow getting input from stdio as stated in the help for the command. Nothing as yet.
Is anything happening with mailman development?

The number of addresses that I want to sync are over 3000! Could this be a problem?
I don't know, but last week I created a new list and freshly inserted over 3000 addresses into it with no problems.
