I've seen this many times and it always (I believe) turns out to be a
botched "add" command from the list owner.  The way I fix it is to use
the "register off" command for the userid with the bogus name then
restart LISTSERV which will clean up the SIGNUP FILE2 file automatically.
If the list owner wants they can then do a "register <full-name>", to
restore their correct name.
