[G. Armour Van Horn]

I sent this early this morning when I gave up on the upgrade for the day, I'd really like to have someone look at this so I can try again tonight.

I blew away everything in the /home/mailman directory except the lists, logs, and archives and got the same result. Just to be thorough, I cleaned everything out, blew away the /usr/src/mailman-2.1b3 directory, extracted the install files again, and there was no change. I even downloaded another copy of the tarball.
