The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[address@concealed]

My server running sympa (v3.2.1) crashed. I'm running a journaled fs and 
rebooted. Everything is working okay, except for sympa. I get the following 
when I attempt to start it manually using ./sympa.pl -d ...

Broken pipe

if I run strace ./sympa.pl I get the following:
(just showing the last few lines ... a lot of strace output)....

It looks like it's trying to connect to the database (Postgres) and it's 
getting their, but then the pipe is broken.

I'm able to log into the Postgres database as the sympa user either via 
psql sympa sympa or via webpg (formerly phpPgAdmin). I can do a select * from 
both sympa tables with no problem. And postgres doesn't show anything wrong 
in it's log files.

Help!
