Summary: Cancelling a subscription confirmation throws assertion

Initial Comment:
When you use the web interface to confirm a
subscription and select the "Cancel my subscription
request", Mailman throws an assertion.

The problem can be fixed by replacing line 312 in
Mailman/Cgi/confirm.py which currently reads:

    userdesc = mlist.pend_confirm(cookie)[1]

With the following code:

    mlist.Lock()
    try:
        userdesc = mlist.pend_confirm(cookie)[1]
    finally:
        mlist.Unlock()
