There seems to be some character encoding issue here, but ...

This traceback is incomplete. Please post the complete traceback, and if
possible, the correct rendering of the

ÎÏίθμηÏη άÏθÏÏν ιÏÏ ...

stuff. Or is that perhaps some garbled rendering of

Αρίθμηση άρθρων ιστορικών αρχείων

Also, is other stuff missing. I.e., is there more between
"2013-February" and "Pickling archive state into ..."

Normally, I would expect three lines like

#nnnnnn <message-id>
figuring article archives
yyyy-Month

for each message in the mbox followed by something like

Updating index files for archive [yyyy-Month]
  Date
  Subject
  Author
  Thread
Computing threaded index
Updating HTML for article n1
Updating HTML for article n2
...

for each month in the archive and then finally, the

Pickling archive state into ...

line.

I really need the complete traceback to begin to say more.
