I confirm that despite the fact this message is shown on the web page, I 
receive the regular confirmation message, and if I click on the provided 
URL I am regularly subscribed.

The logs show nothing strange except /var/lib/mailman/logs/error

I cleared all logs and qfiles before restarting mailman, and did a single 
subscribe test on a new list (creation goes ok). I attach the error log
(I hope an attachment is ok for the list policy)

The error is generated at the same time the confirmation request is sent.
