Errno 9 is "bad file descriptor" (see /usr/include/errno.h or perhaps
/usr/include/sys/errno.h depending where Solaris puts it).  My first
guess is that your copy of lsv_amin and lsv don't agree on the value
of the SPOOL_DIR variable.

Second possibility is that you didn't make lsv_amin set-UID to the Listserv
userid:

%  ls -l /usr/local/bin/lsv_amin
-rwsr-xr-x   1 listserv system     25822 Jan 03 2002  /usr/local/bin/lsv_amin
