Aieee!! Don't do this -- you will completely hose Mailman's
configuration for that list. config.db is a binary file, you can't edit
it with a text editor.
Hmmm... I wonder if a lot of the problems with people who have corrupted
config.db files arises from them editing it with Emacs, and then
wondering why Mailman crashes whenever it tries to load it. Should
remember to ask "Did you edit this file with a text editor?" next time
someone complains of tracebacks in marshal.load().
