My best guess is some list has a corrupted config.pck.

bin/checkdb --all

may find it, but it may not. You could try patching list_lists as
follows to find the offending list:

--- bin/list_lists      2005-02-06 14:27:16.593750000 -0800
+++ bin/list_lists.test 2005-02-12 09:09:11.578125000 -0800

                mlist.web_page_url.find(vhost) == -1:
             continue
         mlists.append(mlist)
-        longest = max(len(mlist.real_name), longest)
+        try:
+            longest = max(len(mlist.real_name), longest)
+        except:
+            print 'mlist.real_name exception', n

     if not mlists and not bare:
         print _('No matching mailing lists found')
