I ran the script (after some minor modifications) on

     Ubuntu Dapper
     Mailman 2.1.11  (self-built package)
     Python 2.4.3 (#2, Oct  6 2006, 07:49:22)

and I get similar results:

I then added

     sleep 5

after each "add_members" line, and the output looked fine.
I changed the sleep interval from 5 down to 1 in successive
runs, and each output looks fine; each list has the proper two
subscribers.  Is there a timing issue here?
