Strange. The authentication system was changed, sure, but after you log 
in, you're supposed to be redirected to your sourcesup's home page.
Aren't you redirected somewhere after a few seconds?

You mean : without any traces?
Didn't you find any traces in your spool/tmp directory?
When a Sympa (non web) process dies, it is supposed to create a 
xxx.stderr file in this spool, "xxx" corresponding to the id of the 
process that just died.

Well, normally yes.
My problem is : I can't reproduce the problem with our 5.3.4 version : I 
can launch bounced.pl in debug mode without any problem.
I would suspect (just a feeling) a perl problem. The call to list.pm is 
only implicit in this case so maybe some perl engine could choke on it.
If you change line 376 from:
       &DoForward($listname, $forward, $robot, $entity) if (defined 
$forward);
to:
       &List::DoForward($listname, $forward, $robot, $entity) if 
(defined $forward);

without including DoForward() code in bounced.pl, does it fix the problem?
