Hi Barry,

I'm testing with fresh installation of 2.2 and found a password/cookie

• problem.  I can start HTTPRunner, create a new list using a site password created by bin/mmsitepass, and visit the admin page.  But, if I stop the qrunner and start again, I can't login again at the admin page.  I get this error if I visit the admlogin page.

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/wsgi_app.py", line 130, in mailman_app
    sys.modules[modname].main()
