"ValueError: day of year out of range" on Dec 31?

[Quinncom]

I haven't checked closely but I'm guessing the
following error is because

[root@one /var/mailman]# /etc/init.d/mailman stop
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/var/mailman/bin/qrunner", line 270, in ?

[Tokio Kikuchi (tkikuchi)]

time.strftime('%d-%b-%Y',day + (0,)*6)) caused error in
Python 2.4 and this was fixed in Mailman 2.1.6.

Please upgrade your mailman to the latest version.

I got a similar/same error on Jan 10th - Mailman seems to
run for a while and spontaneaously do this - or maybe when
it gets a bounced message. I disabled bounce-detection in
hopes of it not occurring.

As Tokio says, this is a known incompatability between
Mailman 2.1.5 and earlier and Python 2.4 and later. It has
nothing to do with specific dates. It occurs whenever a
second or subsequent bounce is received for the same user in
the same day.

It is fixed by upgrading to Mailman 2.1.6 or later or by
changing
time.strftime('%d-%b-%Y', day + (0,)*6))
in line 131 of Mailman/Bouncer.py to
time.strftime('%d-%b-%Y', day + (0,0,0,0,1,0)))

And yes, disabling bounce processing will avoid the error.
