Our mailman/data directory has a bunch of heldmsg- files. One of the lists has over 5,000 currently. Whenever we try to access "Tend to pending administration requests" it never returns. Apache error log shows just:

I have tried to move all the heldmsg- away for this list, but even then it never comes back. Anyone have an idea how to fix this?
