[Mailman-Developers] problem with latest archiver code.

[Chuq Von Rospach]

ack! it looks like my server is broken!

  Things are dying attempting to write the mbox files in the archiver:

Sep 26 10:35:03 2000 (32215) Archive file access failure:

     self.fp.seek(-1, 2)

Last night, I added a cron job that took my mbox files and moved them 
out of the mailman tree into a public archive. it looks like if the 
file doesn't exist or is zero length, this code now fails.

Barry? has this code been tested against a non-existant mbox file? It 
seems to be failing.
