I've got postfix/mailman set up on Solaris 9 (after working through the
python issues that related to that), and when I try to create a list, I
get this:

Bug in Mailman version 2.1.2

We're sorry, we hit a bug!

If you would like to help us identify the problem, please email a copy
of this page to the webmaster for this site with a description of what
happened. Thanks!
Traceback:

Now, if I setuid root the postfix stuff, everything is peachy, but this
isn't something I'm particularly keen on doing, for obvious reasons.

I compiled mailman with --with-mail-gid set to the postfix gid, but the
master postfix process runs as root.

Can someone tell me what I screwed up here? Do I need to rebuild with
- --with-mail-gid set to 0? that doesn't sound like something I want to do.

Any help is muchly appreciated.
