[Mailman-Users] Could not acquire qrunner lock

[Jon Carnes]

Really it depends on the version of Mailman that you are running.  In 
general, if you are *NOT* running v2.08, then you should upgrade immediately.

For earlier versions, there were problems with some non-standard email 
formats.  You might look at the messages that are awaiting processing and 
move a few likely suspects (like some that came in 3 days ago - especially 
bounces).  Move them out of the queued up directory so that qrunner doesn't 
hit them anymore.

A strategy that works fairly well is to run qrunner by hand and use a tracing 
program to see what files it opens.
