[Mailman-Users] yet another undocumented, undiscussed bug

[Greg Swallow]

Let's see how this one works...the last time I had a problem I got no 
response to two separate posts.

We had a server crash yesterday, and I brought the server back online. 
Since then, I have this problem when viewing the mailman web interface 
or trying to run check_dbs:

Bug in Mailman version 2.1.2

We're sorry, we hit a bug!

If you would like to help us identify the problem, please email a copy 
of this page to the webmaster for this site with a description of what 
happened. Thanks!
