Since the http user is now http, and mailman knows this (configured 
--with-cgi-gid=http), might it be trying to generate its files running 
as http and failing?

I think it's the mailmanctl that triggers the HTML generation, and 
that's running.

The log suggests it's a permissions error that's got it bothered:
