[Mailman-Users] Could not acquire qrunner lock

[mailman at tux.org]

I have seen a similar situation on my installation of Mailman.  The
key is the repetition of the one message in your qrunner log.  An
easy way to fix this is to mv

  /home/mailman/qfiles/001b6903fc7ad5bdcdfa930711200d5a1306e7af*

aside (into another directory, that is) (or just rm if you don't care
about what that message might be).  Things should improve considerably
once you do this.
