(At least I now seem to be able to get to the admin pages...)

I noticed during my investigations into what was wrong with the lists I was transferring into Mailman 2.0rc1 after installing RH 7.0 that one of the lists' archives was broken.

I ran ~mailman/bin/arch on the list. After about an hour waiting I went to bed, and this morning came back to find the following:

(so many repeats of the first two lines it has exceeded the xterm scrollback buffer)

The archives are still broken for the latest month (2000-October).

Any suggestions, anyone?
