Here's a couple of things to check.

Look in /etc/passwd and check to see which usernames have UID 106 and 33.

Check to see which username the newly created wwsympa-wrapper.fcgi is owned
by. It should usually be owned by the Sympa user, with the Setuid flag set
("chmod u+s wwsympa-wrapper.fcgi")

I suspect that 33 = apache, and your wwsympa-wrapper is either the wrong
owner
(should be 106 = sympa), or it is missing the setuid flag (so it is being
run
as the apache user rather than as sympa).

I have noticed in the past that some of the Sympa 6.1 packages do not
correctly set the setuid on these files at install.
