To quote my:
http://berklix.com/~jhs/src/bsd/fixes/FreeBSD/ports/gen/mail/mailman/files/
  "An agressive 5 minute killer python loop in /var/cron/tanbs/mailman
  has been killing my hosts for 5 years"

I dont know if they fixed it.
What worried me was what else might be sloppy & dangerous,
& I didnt have time/ enthusiasm to do a code read through.

One day, if when & after mailman has a code read through to confirm
it has no more killer loops, I'd like to find time for a 2nd stab
to convert all my lists on majordomo@berklix.org to mailman.

Cheers,
Julian
