I have about 2 dozen mailing lists running under mailman 2.1.2 (Solaris)
quite sucessfully, see
      https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/
but I've been getting error messages like the above quite regularly
since the upgrade from 2.0.x to 2.1.2 (in early May).
I never cared too much about them but today.

I saw that a message got into the daily digest, but was really not put
out to mailing list (R-help).
It was sent (via procmail) to R-help
( Folder: /usr/local/app/mailman-sfs/current/mail/mailman post  r-help  2298)
on 11:07:30 today, better never sent out, and the above line
Aug 11 11:07:56 2003 (541) lost data files for filebase: \
    1060592863.194724+a163d1a48606e1eb9e5ed8014a2fed7b386b6c81
comes 26 seconds later.

What could have happened?
Can you help me find out? I'll voluntarily give you more info.
Thanks a LOT in advance!
Please CC to me directly, since I'm not subscribed to the
mailman-users list.
