[Mailman-Users] problem with arch converting majordomo archives to mailman

[Ron Jarrell]

FYI, I ran into the same problem this weekend.. 14M archive with
about 9000 messages in it, and it always blows up in the same month;
even if I peel out just that month.  Haven't had the energy to search down
to which message(s) might be causing it.
