Can you administer other lists? Does mailman write to other log files
successfully? Does /usr/local/mailman/logs/error exist? if so, you
might try moving it elsewhere and let Mailman create a new one and see
if that helps.

I suspect there is some error in the config.pck or some other file for
the list and then the failed attempt to log *that* error is what you
see on the bug page.
