Package: python2.5
Version: 2.5.2-15
Severity: normal

The problem manifests itself with mailman, the problem is in python.
Fast test:
p...@elbrus ~ $ python -c 'print "a"' | head -n0
close failed: [Errno 32] Broken pipe

Complete problem:
When I start mailman with "/etc/init.d/mailman start" I get:
r...@elbrus ~ $ /etc/init.d/mailman start
close failed: [Errno 32] Broken pipe
Starting Mailman master qrunner: mailmanctl.

I have located the problem in the line 51:
    if ! /var/lib/mailman/bin/list_lists -b | grep -q "^${SITE_LIST}$"; then

My site has 506 lists and apparently to many names are coming behind the 
"mailman" list. It looks like python does not check if the fd is closed. See 
issue 1596 of the python bug tracker:
