[Mailman-Users] Anything to look out for in a 2.1.9 to 2.1.14-1 upgrade?

Short version:

Are there any gotchas in upgrading from 2.1.9 to 2.1.14-1 that I need to
look out for?  I am, as usual in these cases, looking for the most expedient
way to fix a problem I've brought on myself.

Some more details...

We run the mailman processes on our mail server, a 64-bit Red Hat 5 machine
with python 2.4.3.  We run the web interface on our web server, which until
yesterday was a 32-bit Red Hat 4 machine with python 2.3.4.

Yesterday, we replaced the web server hardware with a 64-bit Red Hat 6
machine, which has python 2.6.6, and the web interface stopped working.
Delivery to lists is working just fine.  In the mailman error log, I see the
following:

admin(13467):     import email.message

I'm trying to figure out if there's an easy way to fix this, that *won't*
break delivery to the lists.  Any hints much appreciated.
