Hi mark,


I am puzzled as well.

I can see that only one installation is running.

# /usr/local/bin/python -V
Python 2.4.3

after running bin/unshunt there are tons of "SHUNT" errors messages in 
/usr/local/mailman/logs/error


in fact after runnning unshunt twice I see there are a lot of them :)

# grep "SHUNT" /usr/local/mailman/logs/error | wc -l
   27202
