So, we've gone from disappearing 'space" to a disappearing list!

The machine in question has no disappearing space, but after running
flawlessly for 6/7 months, the "lists" page only shows 3 out of the four
active lists (there's 2 admins, but I'm the only one who would do
anything other than approve messages).

at http://lists.domain.com/mailman/listinfo/
I see

	list2	Description
	list3	Description
	list4	Description

--> list1 is *gone*, yet is is fully operational and carrying heavy
traffic.  i can reach list1 directly at

http://lists.domain.com/mailman/listinfo/list1


On the file systems, everything *seems* OK (I ran perm_chk to be sure):

I've never seen this before - how about anyone here?  the first anyone
noticed this was about an hour ago, but it could have happened anytime in
the last few weeks.

this is clearly something simple and in my face, but I dont see it.

(BTW, the box with the disappearing space looks like logfiles - not done
there yet, but I'm 90% certain it's rotation)

"Never belong to any party, always oppose privileged classes and public
plunderers, never lack sympathy with the poor, always remain devoted to
the public welfare, never be satisfied with merely printing news, always
be drastically independent, never be afraid to attack wrong, whether by
predatory plutocracy or predatory poverty."
