I can't tell for sure if it's bombing on the unzipping of the patch or the
application of the patch, though it looks like it's the former.  I think
there should be a c option in addition to the -d for the bzip2 command if
it's piping the output directly to patch, but that's just a guess since I
don't know what the spec file is actually doing.

You might want to try a newer RPM from whatever vendor you're trying to
build this on.  And while you're at it, I'd spend the time to build Mailman
2.1.2 instead of the rather old 2.0.13.  There are many useful improvements
in 2.1.2.  If there isn't an RPM for your platform (that builds cleanly),
it's really straightforward to build Mailman from tarballs.  Plus, you can
then be more sure that you've done everything required to make it work with
your setup instead of hoping that the RPM packager did it right.
