Well, at least we know that it's dying in your C library.  Can't tell if
Perl had passed in something bogus, though.

In any case, your registration database is complete, so you have enough
info to easily reconstruct the subscriber database for the damaged list.
You'll lost the flag settings, although you can probably extract those
easily from the log.

I don't know how we could cause corruption of one of the DB files.
Obviously there are all kinds of possibilities, but they must be extremely
rare because we've never seen this kind of thing before.

Hey, since you're running the pgsql lists, how about helping us get a
Postgres backend going?  I don't know much about it, but if it supports
variable (unlimited) length fields then I see no reason why we shouldn't be
able to make it worl.
