[ale] FYI: mailing list (un)subscription error

[Jim Kinney]

Just a heads up notice for the list.
The python code that runs the subscription/unsubscription process is
croaking at the moment. For the curious, the error log section is below.

admin(2278): [----- Traceback ------]
admin(2278): Traceback (most recent call last):
admin(2278):   File "/usr/lib/mailman/scripts/driver", line 101, in run_main
admin(2278):     main()
admin(2278):   File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/subscribe.py", line 96, in
main
admin(2278):     process_form(mlist, doc, cgidata, language)
admin(2278):   File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/subscribe.py", line 176,
in process_form
admin(2278):     mlist.AddMember(userdesc, remote)
admin(2278):   File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 874, in
AddMember
admin(2278):     cookie = self.pend_new(Pending.SUBSCRIPTION, userdesc)
admin(2278):   File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Pending.py", line 65, in
pend_new
admin(2278):     db = self.__load()
admin(2278):   File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Pending.py", line 95, in
__load
admin(2278):     return cPickle.load(fp)
admin(2278): EOFError

The EOFError is the problem. Apparently the 6k+ file was too much to handle
at the pending.pck and friends are messed up.
