Ricardo wins the scooby snack. :)
I grabbed gcc off of freeware.sgi.com and installed the package, then
recompiled and reinstalled python with gcc.
Then I recompiled and reinstalled mailman with gcc.
Redid my steps, sent a message. It failed.
*THIS* time, however, it told me it got gid 998, not 0, and when I
re./configured --with-mail-gid=guest (998), the sonofabitch WORKED.
There's your tip, Ricardo. Use gcc when you're doing this. :)
