2675 messages, not that many.
I removed 3 messages with large attachments, re-ran arch and it ran just
fine.
Before, when it reached the 12MB attachement, it ate more than 400MB

I am moving mailman to an up to date machine, but in the meantime:
oxygen:~# rpm -qf /usr/bin/python
python-1.5.1-5

Maybe a newer python will help.

Not that big, 25MB.
