Yes. I ran into that too. I was going to complain about it, but since
I had fixed it and move on by upgrading to perl-5.00502, it slipped my
mind. Thanks for reminding me. ;-)

To Redhat: You shipped a broken perl with 5.2. Where's the official
update so others running majordomo (or other perl packages depending
on regular expression processing) don't run into this bug?
