I don't think these log entries/error reprorts are relevant to the
issue. See below.
First, see
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq06.011.htp>.
That said, in order to help, we need more specific information about
the problem. I.e., at this point, is it just the list, or the whole
Mailman server that's down. If the whole server, which if any queue
runners are still running. What's in the 'qrunner' log. What current
entries are in the 'error' log?. Where are the posts going, i.e. which
qfiles/* directories have entries.
If it's only the one list, presumably the qrunners are OK, but the
other questions apply. Also, what happens if you move the
lists/LIST_NAME/digest.mbox file aside? Does that help?
Also see
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.023.htp>.

This indicates a user has log-in cookies as the list-admin for the
'banned' and 'mercedes' lists and is going to the admindb page for
mercedes and has possibly quit or stopped the browser before the
requested page was returned.
The actual error trace is not relevant (it just indicates the script
driver is trying to write to Apache which has already closed the
pipe), but the fact that there may have been a long delay in building
the page may indicate a problem with the list's request.pck or other
file.

These imply that there are multiple qrunners processing the same
queues. Both runners see an entry and begin processing. The first
unlinks the queue entry successfully, and the second is unable to
because it is already gone. Thus the above errors (one from the 'in'
queue and one from the 'bounces' queue.
