[Mailman-Users] 'AttributeError: has_key' errors

[John Ello]

In case anyone is wondering, I traced it down to a bad request.db file for
one of my lists. It seems that mailman/cron/checkdbs checks those files,
but mailman/bin/check_db does not. I removed it, and it seems to have been
regenerated ok.
