Okay, that got me farther.  I was able to upgrade the database with only 
a little bit of difficulty.

Now when running:

     sympa.pl --sync_list_db

I get errors about the list of owners being longer than 100 characters. 
 And indeed, in list_table defines owners_list, editors_list, and so on 
as: varchar(100).

Two things:

First, given that address@concealed, it is not 
difficult to exceed that limit.  And in our case, student club lists, 
for whatever reason, tend to have a lot of owners.  Perhaps the field 
should be larger.

Second, does it matter?  It appears this is used as a cache.  Is it 
rebuilt on startup?
