[Mailman-Users] Uncaught runner exception

[kiwirob at paradise.net.nz]

Hi 

I'm running mailman for the mailing list of http://www.aarons-jokes.com/
I'm currently sending out over 150,000 mails (over 7 lists) a day using
an "announce only" type setup.

Problem is mailman has been causing the server to crash on a regular
basis.

I am get VERY large number (1000's) of the following errors and as yet
have not been able to track down the problem.  I recently upgraded to
2.1.2 and the problem still persists.  Is anybody else having these same
error or stability problems with large lists?

Thanks
