Developers of Sympa

[Thomas Berry <address@concealed>]

Some of our lists' include.lock file keep getting set to 0 bytes.

I thought our 0 bytes issues was a remnant of the patch we removed on 
Monday, but some of the lists keep coming up with the symptom.

Any ideas what could be causing this to happen?

This causes problems not only with the sympa-creation process; which 
hangs from time to time, but also causes a pop-up "Internal server error 
- review failure to inlude members" in the sympa web interface when an 
owner managers list members.
