I've carefully scoured the archives and faqs to get an answer to my 
problem, and while I found a few similar postings, I did not find a 
solution that matched my problem.

Mailman experienced a very low level failure and could not even generate a
useful traceback for you.  Please report this to the Mailman administrator
at this site.

I have 
  o checked my installation and configuration of mailman and all seems 
ok.  
  o run check_perms and fixed some minor problems, also fine.
  o locks are legitimate (qrunner is the only one and it is running)  
  o plenty of disk space and no disk problems
  o postfix and apache are working fine.  

I wrote a small test script and tried it in the mailman/cgi-bin and it
worked fine.  I've also restarted postfix, apache, mailman.  The problem 
persists.

The problem started occuring suddenly this morning after having run for 
several months with no issues.  The last entry in the error log is from 
Jan 18 (4 days ago).

For reference, the server is running Suse 9.1, kernel 2.6.5-7.111.5-smp.  
Mailman is version 2.1.4 (as reported in the error message).

I'm stuck!  Please help.
