Hello Sympa Maintainers,

I've been encountering a nagging log bug for ages in my sympa installation.  Was hopeful it would go away in 6.1.19, but it's still there.  So I took the time to track it down.

The problem I am getting is tons of these messages in my http error log while people are browsing:

[Fri Feb 07 18:21:54.328026 2014] [fcgid:warn] [pid 790] [client 192.168.1.2:51859] mod_fcgid: stderr: Argument "" isn't numeric in sprintf at /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/Sys/Syslog.pm line 426., referer: http://www.gsas.org/sympa/arc/airstone/2009-04/

I temporarily added some extra logging in Syslog.pm, and traced it down to these log messages:

debug2 List::get_first_admin_user() List::get_first_admin_user(%s,%s,%s,%d,%d)

Presumably this means that the fourth and/or fifth parameters are not actually numeric.

I commented out the line in List.pm, and that's enough for me.  Perhaps this can be truly fixed in the next release?

Regards,

  - Erik
