Mailman has been working fine for a couple of week now and it just
stopped with a bug.

Below is what it tells me when I go to admindb on any list.

any ideas???

Bug in Mailman version 2.1.2

<snip>
   File "/usr/share/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 487, in __save
     os.unlink(fname_last)
OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument:
'/private/var/mailman/lists/bulletin/config.pck.last'

This problem seems to occur with varying frequency in Mac OSX. See http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Amail.python.org+%22errno+22%22+config.pck.last

The immediate solution is to manually remove the offending
config.pck.last file - one person reported he had to rename it with
"mv" before he could remove it.

No one seems to know what the underlying cause or permanent solution is.

Hi again,
I haven't deleted the file mentioned in my last post - I ran check_perms again following my last post & I'm going to wait & see what happens over the next week or so. Brad Knowles emailed me asking about if I'd upgraded from OSX 10.3.7 to 10.3.8 - to which the answer was yes. Perhaps this screwed things up - we shall see.
