I believe the change is a documented one.  The problem you are
experiencing is because of the way you have written the command line.

Try this instead...

$ ezmlm-issubn '/data/lists/foo' . digest; echo $?

(NOTE: don't miss the dot in the above example)  I believe that will
yield the result you are looking for.  See the v6 version of the man
page for ezmlm-issubn   You should read the CHANGES.idx file that
comes with the v6 code.  See the section labeled "ezmlm-idx-6.0.0,
2006-11-30".  There you will find a description of the change.
