I believe this is not compliant with the CGI spec.  SCRIPT_NAME should
be /mailman/admin and PATH_INFO should be test.

I vaguely remember a similar issue with (I think) thttpd which has
subsequently been fixed, but I don't remember the details.

...or fix your broken one. :)  I'm not in favor of adding official
workarounds for broken web servers (or mtas, or web browsers... etc)
What do the aolserver folks have to say about this?
