This looks like a normal shut down as a result of 'bin/mailmanctl stop' 
or 'kill -TERM' of the master watcher process. Presumably, no one
knowingly did this, but is it possible the OS did it because of some
process limit?

Here it looks like a normal start.

Here it looks like a second start was done while the first set of
qrunners from Oct 19 13:57:48 2005 was still running. You mentioned in
your first post starting mailman with '/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mailman.sh
start'. This script probably does 'bin/mailmanctl -s start'. The '-s'
stale lock cleanup is appropriate for a system restart script, but not
for a running system. It is better to start mailman on a running
system with 'bin/mailmanctl start', at least for the first try.

And here the first of the two running sets of qrunners is stopped. Was
this done somehow manually?
