[Mailman-Users] Help - Dead in water

[Will Leaver]

This is our 7th day using Mailman.

Mailman has stopped processing subscription requests and confirmations.
It worked perfectly for a week, and today, mid-morning, it stopped.

The pending_subscriptions.db is very large, about 18MB. Could that be
related to
this problem? Or, could it be locked somehow?

In neither case is an entry being made in the Subscribe log.

On any attempt to process requests, I get the following:

An unexpected Mailman error has occurred in
MailCommandHandler.ParseMailCommands().  Here is the traceback:
Traceback (innermost last):

On any attempt to process confirmations, I get the following:
