I'm not sure what I can do, because I currently have no way of running Mailman 1.1. I could take your files and upgrade them to 2.0 and see what happens, but I'd be surprised if I get the same hard crash.

I sincerely doubt Barry would see it, because I'd be willing to bet dinner it's a bad block on the disk, and it's lodged in one of the files (probably the .db file) attached to that list.

i'd do a surface test of that disk and see if it finds problems. I'd give it 90% chance it will. This just screams "bad block!" at me.
