[Mailman-Developers] bug in Mailman 2.1.4 ??

[Martin Maechler]

Dear MM developers,
we had activated mailman 2.1.4 this morning, and things (at
least e-mail) seemed to work fine.

Only later we found that with the web interface we get a big
problems, for administrative things, both user subscription or
adminstrator login.

Our setup: Mail server is on Solaris 8; 
	   Web server (apache) on Linux Redhat 9.
This had worked fine with Mailman 2.1.3.
to which we had to  revert ASAP.

We got the following in a browser window.
Do you have any ideas what could have gone wrong?
