[Mailman-Users] Admin interface for a single list misbehaving?

[Christopher Waltham]

I have a server with 873 lists (yes really!), but only one seems to be  
misbehaving. Specifically, when you go to the admin web interface and  
click on Membership Management, I get an error saying:

"Bug in Mailman version 2.1.10

We're sorry, we hit a bug!

Please inform the webmaster for this site of this problem. Printing of  
traceback and other system information has been explicitly inhibited,  
but the webmaster can find this information in the Mailman error logs."

Mailman's error.log says this at the time:

I've run a "list_members savo_list" (savo_list being the list name)  
and it works fine; the list has 284 members and I don't see any  
obviously corrupt members listed there. The Apache error logs indicate  
nothing at the time of the error.

Any ideas? I'm running check_perms now but it takes a while on this  
machine. The server is Mailman 2.1.10 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.6  
(i386).

Thanks,


Chris
