mailman 2.0beta1 problem: Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender (fwd)

Hello,
I've just upgraded my test machine to 2.0beta1 ... I sent a test message to the list, it was delivered correctly to its members and then I got the error message attached below. Anyway it seems quite strange to me... first, why does scripts/post write anything to stdout, second, why does it write "starting" twice ? The logs/post file has the following: Mar 22 19:02:22 2000 (6870) post to test from gorgo@sztaki.hu, size=444, success
Additionally in logs/error I have the following: Mar 22 19:02:22 2000 post(6870): starting Mar 22 19:02:22 2000 post(6870): ending

It is normal to see those messages in logs/error. That's useful debugging information that should probably be turned off in 2.0 final.
I think I understand why you're getting output to stdout. Look in scripts/post and change
LogStdErr("error", "post")
to
LogStdErr("error", "post", tee_to_stdout=0)
The question is, why haven't I seen this with Postfix? Does it just get chucked? I definitely don't see it in my syslog (and I'm logging all mail.* messages in my syslog.conf. Weird.
I also understand why you see it twice. It would be possible if there was some kind of permission problem with logs/error, but you're seeing messages in that file, so that can't be it.
