It is great to read this report. But the archived version has been cut (by a software bug) at the line starting with "From",
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/foundation-l/2009-March/050792.html
Since the report was distributed just fine, I think that Mailman is fine, but the bug hides somewhere in Pipermail 0.09. It is perhaps related to "^From " being a message separator in the mbox format.
Is there a fix for this bug?

It was fixed several years ago, shouldn't happen on anything current. :P

March 2009 seems pretty current to me...

Hence "I'll fix it, give me a minute!"? (Or, more likely, "I'll tell someone to fix it, give them a minute!") Comments from developers about bugs really should be about fixing them... Saying it shouldn't be happening doesn't help much.

Neither does berating the developers over stupid things...

I don't think we have any developers of the relevant software here, do we?

Quite the opposite -- it's extremely relevant to indicate familiarity with a similar issue in the past, which may have regressed or may have a related cause and fix.

The problem is that in this case, the comment seemed to be "It was fixed time ago", rather than "That's a regression, we dealt with it time ago". Language is complex :)
