Greetings list,

We have been noticing intermittent qrunner errors (in the qrunner log) like the following:

Feb 28 09:30:00 2002 (29548) Exception reading qfile: /mail/lists/qfiles/4a892b3f09e5f910ea6baa3362cf6048ef09c865 EOF read where object expected

The error log also has a ton of these:

Feb 28 09:52:00 2002 qrunner(31630): Traceback (most recent call last): Feb 28 09:52:00 2002 qrunner(31630): File "/usr/local/webapps/mailman/cron/qrunner", line 282, in ? Feb 28 09:52:00 2002 qrunner(31630): kids = main(lock) Feb 28 09:52:00 2002 qrunner(31630): File "/usr/local/webapps/mailman/cron/qrunner", line 202, in main Feb 28 09:52:00 2002 qrunner(31630): os.unlink(root+'.db') Feb 28 09:52:00 2002 qrunner(31630): OSError : [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/mail/lists/qfiles/dca77c d596314ee9e3eeaf047b21f34c179dc16e.db

This may be related to random delays on some lists (from 20 minutes to several hours)

Would anyone have any information on how to resolve this? Thanks in advance.
