This specific traceback is from cron/gate_news (there's probably one of
these every 5 minutes), not from the web CGI, but the error is
probably the same.

The issue above is a corrupt config.pck file for some list. To find
which list, cd to Mailman's bin/ directory and do

echo > noop.py "def noop(mlist): return"
./withlist -a -r noop
