Problem with Mailman

I just installed mailman from the Fedora repository.

Attempting to access http://mydomain.com/mailman/listinfo results in

The Mailman CGI wrapper encountered a fatal error. This entry is being stored
in your syslog:

Group mismatch error. Mailman expected the CGI wrapper script to be
executed as one of the following groups:
[apache],
but the system's web server executed the CGI script as group: "nobody".
Try tweaking the web server to run the script as one of these groups:
[apache],
or re-run configure providing the command line option:
'--with-cgi-gid=nobody'.

I'm running Apache under the default "nobody" setting (and at this point, I
really don't want to change that).  How do I tweak mailman to accept "nobody"
or tell Apache to run mailman's scripts with the group "apache"?
