I think this is deeper than above.  I got a "someone, possibly you, has
requested you be subscribed to this list..." speech from MajorDomo as
well.  I've been a long-time subscriber to -stable, I haven't subscribed
to -hackers, and didn't send any request.

Methinks either MajorDomo had brief nervous breakdown, or some prankster
ran a bunch of subscribe requests through it.
