[Mailman-Users] TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'errors'

[Cary]

Hi, 
		
Mailman lists admin functions have stopped working. 
	- Mailing messages
	- Adding members
	- Removing members
	- Creating new lists

[1] Checked db's no errors to report
[2] Checked permissions - some issues there, but adjusting them didn't
seem to solve the problem. 
[3] Reinstalled python 2.2.2 - no help 
[4] Reinstalled mailman 2.1.2 - no help

RESULTS & ASSUMPTIONS
---------------------

The theme here seems to be the following : 
	
	__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'errors'
	
I've searched for this error in the archives and nothing has revieled
itself. A look on Goggle turned me towards /mailman/pythonlib/email/ and
the assumption that the execution of the above admin functions are being
killed when the email messaging system is called. 

The last update to my Linux box was curl-7.10.5 could this be an issue?
But that was weeks ago and this problem just started now.  

Thanks for your time,

Cary Newfeldt.
