[Mailman-Users] odd admindb crashes

[Jeff Berliner]

        We've had Mailman working just fine for two years, but in the 
past day we've encountered a perplexing problem.  While all other 
functions continue to operate normally (mail is sent, listinfo, options 
and admin scripts all work), the admindb script has begun returning an 
"Internal Server Error", and logging the following in the web-server 
error log:

[Tue Jun 11 21:32:35 2002] [error] [client 66.149.36.100] Premature end 
of script headers: /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/admindb


        It also leaves a core file in the $prefix/bin directory, but 
doesn't log anything in the MM log files.  Nothing has changed on the 
system side.  No upgrades, no permissions appear to have been altered. 
We've removed any stale locks to no avail, etc.

        We're stumped.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

                                             - Jeff
