Summary: var_prefix directory mounted with noatime breaks Mailman.

Initial Comment:
On a test machine: 
 
ike mailman # mount 
/dev/root on / type reiserfs (rw,noatime,notail) 
 
ike mailman # su - mailman -c "bin/newlist list user at domain 
pass" 
Traceback (most recent call last): 
  File "bin/newlist", line 219, in ? 
    main() 
  File "bin/newlist", line 180, in main 
    mlist.Unlock() 
  File "/home/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 165, in Unlock 
    self.__lock.unlock(unconditionally=1) 
  File "/home/mailman/Mailman/LockFile.py", line 321, in 
unlock 
    islocked = self.locked() 
  File "/home/mailman/Mailman/LockFile.py", line 345, in 
locked 
    self.__touch() 
  File "/home/mailman/Mailman/LockFile.py", line 442, in 
__touch 
    os.utime(filename or self.__tmpfname, (t, t)) 
TypeError: utime() arg 2 must be a tuple (atime, mtime) 
 
 
now, if you change the filesystem options... 
 
ike mailman # mount 
/dev/root on / type reiserfs (rw,notail) 
 
ike mailman # su - mailman -c "bin/newlist list user at domain 
pass" 
To finish creating your mailing list, you must edit your 
/etc/aliases (or equivalent) file by adding the following lines, 
and possibly running the `newaliases' program: 
 
## list mailing list 
list:              "|/home/mailman/mail/mailman post list" 
list-admin:        "|/home/mailman/mail/mailman admin list" 
list-bounces:      "|/home/mailman/mail/mailman bounces list" 
.... 
 
The attached patch seems to fix the situation.

bah! please ignore this bug.  the errors were caused due to 
glibc/python/mailman being compiled with -march=pentium4 which 
breaks some floating point calculations.  sorry for the 
inconvenience, everything is fine now.

I found another place where this is happening.  I reposted the 
patch.
