Developers of Sympa

[David Verdin <address@concealed>]

No idea. What do you mean by "often"? Is it after a period during which 
the list remained inactive?
I never observed such a behaviour. Maybe I don't manage large enough lists.

Using the "nocache" is supposed to give you the subscribers count. Does 
it return a value or undef? If it is undef, it could mean that you have 
tyroubles connectig to the database.
