[Mailman-Users] EOF read where object expected

[Rene Churchill]

I'm getting a ton of these in the error logfile and I'm not sure
what's causing them.  Has anybody else run into this before?  I
highly suspect it has to do with a corrupted data/pending_subscriptions.db
file since attempting to run the "Tend to pending administrative requests"
report also throws and error.  I've appended that one below too.  Any suggestions
on how to rebuild the pending_subscriptions.db file?

Thanks,
    Rene
