Short story - Done!

Not so short story
------------------
I believe I've found a bug in the listserver software, regarding threads
transversing month boundaries? hence CC'ing listmaster.
listmaster, please keep debian-user in CC, as it concerns debian-users
searching the archives for information.

OK, found
http://lists.debian.org//debian-user/2012/08/msg02006.html
(Despite .xsession-errors being spelled as xsesssion-errors didn't help
much.) :(
but it shows as having no follow ups!! despite Lee's message:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2012/09/msg00009.html
and associated followups in the next month.
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2012/09/msg00009.html which
references the original, but:
the link
http://lists.debian.org/msgid-search/50411AF5.7080809%40videotron.ca
which resolves to:
http://lists.debian.org//debian-user/2012/08/msg02006.html
which is in the previous month and hence doesn't show up!
You get:
"The requested URL /msgid-search/50411AF5.7080809@videotron.ca was not
found on this server."
(Go to http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2012/09/msg00009.html and
click the "In-reply-to: <50411AF5.7080809@videotron.ca>" link to see
what I mean.) It also takes ages to come back with a response. (to the
point of extreme frustration, and not knowing if you have struck a
timeout situation or an actual fault, which is why I'd like someone to
confirm it.
