Not really important, but peculiar. Did this happen with the default mailman
1.1 locking, or did you apply any patches ? In the default locking for
mailman 1.1 this shouldn't happen, except perhaps if someone else stole the
link right between the check in LockFile.__del__() and the check in
LockFile.unlock(). In other words, a highly unlikely race condition.

[BTW, kept CC list the same because i can't figure out who to include or not]
