It was probably always there. Even the script we distribute
(misc/mailman.in) has it. Sometimes you want it and sometimes you
don't. After a system restart, you really do want it to handle the
situation where the system crashed with Mailman running. I only
suggested you remove it in an attempt to help debug this multiple
start issue.

This is what I wanted to see. Thank you. This is exactly the error
referred to in the FAQ
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.068.htp>.
I just wanted to be sure it wasn't something else.
