I confirm that problems remain even if -U option is present.

I activated debug logging features on http server and this is what:

------------------------------------------------------------------
[Wed Nov  8 18:47:45 2000] [warn] FastCGI: (dynamic) server
"/localhome/sympa/bin/wwsympa.fcgi" started (pid 6003)

------------------------------------------------------------------


It seems that there is an error with FCGI module.  It occurs everytime I
try to submit a list creation/subscribe/unsubscribe.

I've installed sympa 3.0a on a red hat 7.0 which has perl 5.6.0 and FCGI
version 0.56.
