                           Code filled with cobwebs

Well, I misspoke [1]. The Obligatory Email Notification still wasn't
functioning properly (the actual notifications are sent fine—it's just
signing up that was borked). And I suspect it's been broken since it was
moved to this server (or even broken on the server previous to this one). The
code was written when this site was running on tower [2].

It took a bit to find the actual source code (since it was written a long
time ago) and I decided to update the code while I was at it (it was compiled
against an older version of a library I wrote). Then it was a rather painful
process of debugging the program, which mostly had to deal with typos and
permission problems.

Sigh.

But it's now working properly.
