Basically the Ultraseek daemon had consumed all available memory so
Mailman couldn't make any progress on the messages sitting in its
queue.  We've now shut down Ultraseek and I'm running the qrunner
manually so hopefully we start seeing the message queue get cleared.

I'll be watching it closely over the next hour or so, and I'm going to
work with the CNRI IT folks on a more long term solution (involving
moving those services to different machines and making sure they
aren't memory starved).
