Just got another one (so it's apparently not an isolated case)
usw-sf-list1:/var/local/mailman/bin# l ../locks/
total 24
drwxrwsr-x    2 mailman  mailman     16384 May 10 13:40 ./
drwxrwsr-x   21 mailman  mailman      4096 Apr 10 15:06 ../
-rw-rw-r--    1 mailman  mailman        60 May 10 05:29 madchat-spam.lock.usw-sf-list1.8790

Again, it's not fatal since the list doesn't remain in locked state, but
something is apparently still slightly off somewhere :-)
