[Mailman-Users] admin and lockfile problems

	I was about to compose an email about the very same thing.  I've
been fighting with the Admin part of the interface for a few weeks now.  I
can get in to see the emails that are pending approval, but at the bottom
of that same page, there is usually the "We're sorry, we've hit a bug!".
After selecting the appropriate radio button on each message and clicking
"Submit all data", it hangs.  There have been a few different errors
dumped into logs/error, but I just wanted to see if someone had found a
more obvious fix for this which I missed.
