[Mailman-Users] ongoing problem with pickle file

[Fuzzy]

Every night when the daily jobs run I get this error
from everything using 'list_lists'. This also fails
when run from the console, (logged in as the mailman user).

How do I repair the file, so the scripts will run
correctly?

FreeBSD 4.7-release
Mailman 2.1b5
Python 2.2.1
Sendmail 8.12.6
Apache 1.3.23

Thanks in advance.
