Actually, I just tried the CVS snapshot from Friday.  It fixed the big list
issues of 2.0b2, but looks like it worked all too well (from logs/smtp) :

We ended up with eleven copies of the same message to 59K people in the
queue, on a list that was admin-only and that I personally ok'd only once
on friday afternoon.  (Shame on me for not checking the smtp log after
sending, but as it seemed to go out without trouble, and as 59K messages
take quite a long time to deliver, I didn't notice until 5 had been
actually sent...) 

So, has anybody else running the new snapshot on a big list seen this yet?
(I do feel silly asking the above as it seems criminally negligent on my
part, but it's a looooong story...)
