Summary: qrunner eat my disk inodes and kills my machine!

Initial Comment:
One of the mailman crontab scripts (I think qrunner) has 
been writing a new log file every minute since I installed 
mailman 4 months ago. 400,000 separate logfiles later, 
my /var partition fills up with the inodes of these empty 
files effectively disabling most of my favourite services.

Nasty. Currently taking over 5 hours to clean up /var. I 
have disabled the mailman crontab.

I'm using version 2.0.9-1 (RedHat RPM). Is this fixed in 
subsequent versions? Something like appending to an 
existing logfile would be nice.

Anyone else using mailman, I'd advise giving your system 
a periodic 'df -i' just in case this miserable fate befalls 
you too.
