A description of this issue along with the patch to fix it is at
<http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2008-April/061381.html>,
<http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-announce/2008-April/000111.html>,
and
<http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-developers/2008-April/020162.html>.

This is the major reason that there will be a 'patch' release soon.
