First of all, the bug I reported earlier happens if you access this URL:
http://host/mailman/admindb/ <-- note trailing slash
It tries to cause an "Invalid options to CGI script" error, but can't because of the typo in Mailman/Cgi/admindb.py, line 77:
doc.AddItem(eader(2, "Invalid options to CGI script."))
where Header is misspelled. That fixed the crash. But I think that this URL (admindb/) should work just like admindb without the slash -- it should say that you must specify a list.

Thanks for the bug report. It looks like Ken's fixed both problems for the next release.
