[Mailman-Users] Timeout on visiting pending moderator requests

[Morgan Fletcher]

I have a netbsd 1.6 machine running Mailman 2.1.5 serving about twenty
lists. One of my lists has a problem where it's pending moderator requests
page can't be viewed, it just times out. I'm speaking about the URL that
ends in admindb/<listname>. I see the vette log increase by about 320Kb
everytime I visit the pending moderator requests page. There are 629 files
named data/heldmsg-<listname>-* using 3100Kb of disk space. I haven't been
able to decipher the problem.

The farthest I've gotten is to run 'dumpdb pending.pck' for that list. I
can't make sense of the output, but if it would be useful in debugging the
problem I could mail it to this list or one of you as an attachment. I can
individually reject messages via the email-to-reject reply mechanism for
held messages.

This is the contents of the lists/<listname> directory:

I've run 'check_perms' and 'check_db' and everything checks out OK.

Got anything for me?
