Unless you caught this lock in the process of being created, the above
without a casa-chavez.lock file is residue and probably sould be
removed. Does "ps -fwp 8797" show a Mailman related process?

There are 6 processes waiting on this lock. That's very suspicious. The
contents of the cie-news.lock file (cat cie-news.lock) will tell you
which of the 7 processes currently has the lock. Is the pid still
viable? How old is the lock (ls -l)?

These are normal. They prevent another 'mailmanctl start' when Mailman
is running.

See comments re casa-chavez.

The only list that's actually locked is cie-news.

What suspect list?

This is not the output we want to see. Did you include the -U (upper
case meaning 'do not sort') option. The list we want to see will have

uctas-internal
uciahcsg
cie-info

in that order followed by the problem list which I suspect is cie-news.
