Summary: Scrubber/attachment bug on NetBSD

Initial Comment:
I'm using Mailman 2.1.1, and have encountered issues
with mail delivery of messages with attachments (having
to do, I think, with the recent change to use the
scrubber on such messages for digests).

I actually have ARCHIVE_SCRUBBER set to 0 on my system,
since I use MHonArc for archiving. Still, the scrubber
is called from ToDigest. As a result of this bug, ANY
message with an attachment is currently getting
shunted!!  :(

Here's an example stacktrace from the error log:

To work aorund this issue, I've currently commented out
lines  331-333 on my system.

I can confirm the original problem.  Unlike dkhelmet's
problem on OpenBSD with incorrect permissions, my check_perm
reports No Problem.  The work-around of commenting out the
function twiddle() and the os.path.walk on lines 342ff works. 

Enviroment is NetBSD 1.6.1, with python 2.1.3 and mailman
2.1.4, both installed from NetBSD's pkgsrc system (ie.
mailman gets installed with DIRSETGID)

I can confirm this on OpenBSD 3.3 running Mailman 2.1.3 and
Postfix 2.0.16. I get the same exact error. Perhaps I should
try reinstalling without following the setgid flag for BSD. 

Just for confirmation, after each email is sent with an
attachment, check_perms reports it doesn't have 02775
permissions. After check_perms -f is run and another email
sent, the same thing occurs, but for a different directory.
Commenting out the offending lines seems to have fixed the
problem; even the archive is correct.

I'll try recompiling in a day or two after I get some sleep.

The only problems that check_perms reveals are all the
directories that do not have the setgid bit set. I installed
with README.BSD in mind, assuming that the setgid bit is
unnecessary.  Running check_perms -f to turn on that bit has
no effect on the behavior.

I need more information for this one. Do you still get the
crash if you run check_perms first?  I've never seen this on
Linux and I don't have a NetBSD box available to see if
there's some platform specific problem involved.
