Yea, basically what happened was mailman went crazy and killed itself.
The difficulty is that it didn't take it all the way down, just one of the
queue processes. And I don't know mailman well enough to know why that
wasn't automatically re-spawned. Since the mailman controller was not
down, the automatic monitor that would have restarted it didn't think
anything was wrong.
I'm working on trying to figure out what inside mailman is broken, or if
there really is a need for 3x normal memory use from time to time.
