Once every few days I get the following email sent to me from my server:

And the following information appears in my system log at the same time. It normally repeats itself a few times.

Through much research into the problem I've figured out how to *fix* the problem, but not how to prevent it from happening again. It seems to happen about once or twice per week.
The /private/var/mailman/lists/listname/config.pck.last file becomes corrupt. So corrupt that even "sudo rm config.pck.last" won't get rid of it. However "sudo mv config.pck.last config.pck.last.old; sudo rm config.pck.last.old" will get rid of the corrupt file. Then I restart mailman and everything is fine for a few days.
Anybody have any clue what is causing the config.pck.last file to become corrupt?
