[Mailman-Users] Bug in Mailman error

[Catherine Mannix]

Hello,

Could someone help me figure out what happened? I was adding subscribers to 
a list this morning in bunches of 50-100 at a time when the program 
displayed this error message:
Bug in Mailman version 2.0.7

We're sorry, we hit a bug!

Please inform the webmaster for this site of this problem. Printing of 
traceback and other system information has been explicitly inhibited, but 
the webmaster can find this information in the Mailman error logs.
I was able to subscribe 7,881 subscribers before the above error happened. 
Looking into the error log, I am not able to figure out what happened or 
how to unlock the program for the list. The error log has many entries like 
this one:
Mar 15 09:19:48 2002 (3757) Delivery exception:
Mar 15 09:19:48 2002 (3757) Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/HandlerAPI.py", line 82, in 
do_pipeline
     func(mlist, msg, msgdata)
   File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/SMTPDirect.py", line 77, in 
process
     mlist.Lock()
   File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 1339, in Lock
     self.__lock.lock(timeout)
   File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/LockFile.py", line 266, in lock
     raise AlreadyLockedError
AlreadyLockedError

As well as, the following traceback info:
admin(17090): [----- Mailman Version: 2.0.7 -----]

__save
admin(17090):     fp.write(marshal.dumps(dict))
admin(17090): MemoryError

I tested another list on the server and it seems to be working fine without 
any bug errors. In case this helps, the server is an Intel Pentium III CPU 
running FreeBSD 4.4 UNIX O/S and Apache 1.3 Web Server.

Can someone tell me what it is that has created this error and how to fix 
it and unlock the list?

Thanks in advance,
Cat Mannix
