Light dawns.

I suspect that not only did the new Python version not like your old
Mailman install, it also didn't like your old Python version's
config.db streamed objects, and that this is the source of the
problem.  Simple non backward compatibility.  Bad, but
understandable.  Barry may be able to comment on this further (I
haven't followed Python in detail for years and I gave up on Red Hat
entirely even longer ago).
