I am having a very odd situation with lock files. My entire mailman system suddenly stopped working a few days ago, and I have tracked it down to the lockfiles. In the logs, nothing is able to get a lock. What I have noticed is the timestamp on the lock file is exactly 10 hours in the future from the current time, when it tried to get the lock. This is not a problem with cron or the OS time setting, as I setup another job in cron exactly like qrunner but through bourne shell, and it reports time properly, so something from python on down is causing it to do this oddly. Does anybody have any idea what this could be? Where I can start digging? I am running mailman 2.0.6 on Solaris 8, x86.
