I just fixed this problem.  For me, it was because on two of my lists, the
request.db had gotten corrupted somehow.  Request.db is located at
mailman/lists/<listname>/request.db.  I fixed it by overwriting the two
corrupt ones with a good one from a new test list that I created.  It should
only have a size of 2 when it is blank.  Before I fixed it, I was also
unable to tend to administrative tasks for those two lists, but I didn't
know because I'm not the administrator for them.  The administrator hasn't
been doing anything with it.

Hope this helps...

I go this error and now I can't get any of my db stuff work properly.  I 
get an error whenever I try to approve postings.

Sorry that I don't have a gootanswer but backup your data now while its 
still stable and try running check_perms -f you may luck out with a 
permissions problem.

The error you have is what I had, then I got a "bad marshal data" error, so 
far nothing I have found has fixed that one.
