First let me say hello, as I just subscribed to this list.  I've been using and
hacking on Majordomo for several months now and it's been a great tool, not only as
a list maintainer, but also as an excellent perl learning tool.  Thanks Brent and
company.

I would say that the error message in this case would more accurately be something
like : "#### Locked open of file 'README' failed" because if the file really didn't
exist, you would have gotten the error message "get: invalid file 'README' for list 'kqml'".

I would guess that  Majordomo was for some reason unable to create a lock file,
(no write permission in the directory?).

It looks like you could go into shlock.pl change "$shlock_debug = 0" to 
"$shlock_debug = 1", then run the thing from the command line and observe.

Doug Plate Sr.
