I have been getting these crash reports occasionally. Does this look like a mailman problem or is mailman falling victim to some OS (Centos 7) or other issue? TIA.

cmdline: /usr/bin/python /usr/lib/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=VirginRunner:0:1 -s
The crash is in VirginRunner, but it is at a very low level within Python itself.
Is there anything in Mailman's logs. There probably won't be anything in the 'error' log specific to this event because the runner itself crashed, but there should be something in the qrunner log about the death and restart (and after the 10th time, it won't restart so you'd need to restart Mailman).
Also, is it always VirginRunner and is the "core_backtrace:" always similar?
VirginRunner processes Mailman generated notices. There should be messages in Mailman's logs and the system mail log which will indicate what kind of notice Mailman was trying to send.
Also when VirginRunner dies, there will be a *.bak file left in the virgin queue and when the runner restarts, this file will be recovered and reprocessed, so there should be log messages (e.g. in Mailman's 'smtp' log) about that.
In any case, this seems more of a Python or OS issue than Mailman per se.
