[Mailman-Users] Error: mailmanctl -s -q start

[Roger Tsang]

I'm running mm-2.1.5 install from source with Python-2.3.3 on Fedora Core 
(kernel-2.4) and getting the following error when starting mailman from the 
provided init.d script.

# service mailman start
and it runs mailmanctl -s -q start

I keep on getting the same error messages.  Mailman is installed on a ext3 
partition.  What does the trace mean?  Bad filesystem?  Anybody seen it?

TIA
