[Mailman-Developers] fd leakage with run_queue

[Gergely Madarasz]

Hello,

It is quite often that the system load on a machine goes up so sendmail
rejects connections.... so when run_queue runs, there are quite a few
messages rejected in one process, meaning lots of logs... and then I get
messages like this:

Logging error: <StampedLogger to '/var/lib/mailman/logs/error'>
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Logging/Logger.py", line 55, in __get_f

It seems that for each log entry run_queue opens the logfile, and then
doesn't close it. Is there a quick fix for this somewhere ? I'm running
mailman 1.1
