System name:		puttanesca
Type and version:	KN02ca 7.6G (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type:		PMAG-DV 

What were you trying to do?
	update characteristics of a list: specifically, change 
        jhbrown-list-3 to aweb in name, and also owner from 
    	USER jhbrown to LIST aweb

What's wrong:
	it choked trying to change owner to LIST aweb, saying
  	no such list by that name existed.

What should have happened:
	It should have changed the list name to aweb _before_
	it tried to update its ownership to correspond to the
	intuition the screen gave by requesting the one piece of
	data before the other.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	The manpage has no relevant info.
