Your mailmanctl master and one or more qrunner processes are dying.

See <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.078.htp>.

Next time it happens, check to see which Mailman processes are still
runninng if any. If there are any, see
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.068.htp>
about stopping them all before starting Mailman again.

Also check Mailman's qrunner and error logs and system logs for clues as
to why/how they died.
