[Mailman-Users] prblem adding members.. amongst other things.

[Kyle O'Donnell]

Hey All,

Along with constantly having lockfile problems, i cannot add_members to my 
lists.  I receive the following error:

I checked that file random.py against another box running mailman (using 
the same version of python and mailman) and the files were exactly the 
same.

Anyone know how to fix this?

thanks,
