The log entries were written as Mailman did the subscribes and sent the welcomes, but those subscriptions were lost when the process aborted before finishing. No more subscriptions are currently being done.
So I don't get it, are you saying that is *was* aborted after the CGI timed out?
Yes.
Or are you following on my "if something happens to interrupt it"? --
As I see it that's the same thing. The something that happened was the abort of the CGI.
it was a hypothetical question about checkpointing and keeping state during long long-running tasks.
Mailman 2.1 does no check pointing. There is no database in the usual sense. It does have a mechanism for backing up and recovering if delivery of a list message is interrupted, but that's it.
