Now fixed.
My bounce queue runner dies so often that I had to change MAX_RESTARTS from 10 to 100. I also have a script that restarts mailman every day. I've had the bounce runner die as often as 41 times in one day. Was the issue causing the bounce runner to crash fixed in a newer version of python? If so, what version was the fix introduced in? Are the extra files a result of the bounce runner crashing, or a result of me restarting Mailman every day?

I don't understand the details of the way the bounce events are handled. I think that every 15 minutes (by default) Mailman processes the pending bounce events, but what determines what events are pending? Does mailman keep a list of those somewhere? Or does Mailman just look for files named bounce-events-*.pck?
