Flem - Trying t retrace my steps, I think i just saw TONS of errors
(maybe just warnings?) in the logs and so I fixed it.  I do also notice
this in the release notes:

"[12616] src/lib/Sympa/Language.pm, src/lib/Sympa/Session.pm:  Tests in
    code using a few regexps were invalid due to typos.  These also produce
    "Unescaped left brace in regex" deprecation warnings many, many times
    with Perl 5.22 or later."

This smells like what I fixed.  Also note this wasn't a problem in my
6.2 guide!
