Is it telling the list admin there are -1 requests waiting?   If you 
so, and you are using Mailman 2.1.5, this is a known problem.  Some 
ways of dealing with it are in the FAQ.

Or, you might have a corrupt request database.  You could simply remove 
it.  (The file is in the lists/{name-of-list} directory, with the 
filename depending upon the version of Mailman you are using.  
request.pck for Mailman 2.1.5.)
