Bug Description

Since I checked my e-mail-account today I had over 1000
new mails where my cron daemon worries about those
errors with your qrunner and listinfo.py:

(1) "Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/mailman/cron/qrunner", line 84, in ?
from Mailman import Utils
EOFError: EOF read where object expected"

(2) "Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/mailman/cron/gate_news", line 40, in ?
    from Mailman import MailList
  File "/home/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 36, in ?
    from Mailman import Utils
EOFError: EOF read where object expected"

Don't know why, I didn't changed something on the
machine and there is noone who could change something.
Hard disk space is also okay.

So I couldn't figure out where the problem was but I
hope you can fix it, the web page shows your 'A bug in
mailman' page and this is a cat from /logs/error:
