But it runs!
Only during the shutdown and the startup I see these error messages:
        SystemError: codec module not properly initialized
several times (using verbose mode).

Meanwhile I have translated, linked and installed python 2.2.2 from the
original source tar ball, and I see the same error messages.
(I only tested under ML 9.1 yet.)

When I go back to python 2.2.3 (installed from source) the error
messages disappear.

So I think (in this case), it's likely rather a mailman/python (2.2.2)
issue than a Mailman/Linux distro topic.

Maybe this is specific to my system, cause the configure scripts will
produce different results on different systems.
But maybe other people see those error messages with Mailman 2.1.2 and
python 2.2.2 too.

Also the messages are maybe harmless.
But I will use in any case python 2.2.3 for this task.

Oliver
