We run a couple of mail lists using mailman (mailman-2.0.5) on our 4.2
freeBSD system.

Today I got a bunch of messages relating to mailman the gist of which is

Logging error: <StampedLogger to '/rl_home/HTTPD/mailman/logs/error'>
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/rl_home/HTTPD/mailman/Mailman/Logging/Logger.py", line 74, in

riginal log message:

  File "/rl_home/HTTPD/mailman/cron/gate_news", line 222, in ?

  File "/rl_home/HTTPD/mailman/Mailman/LockFile.py", line 352, in
__write
    fp.close()
IOError: [Errno 28] No space left on device


the free space on the machine is

/     16M
/usr 140M
/var 444M

any ideas why mailman should be doing this?
