Bug Description

bin/list_lists and the listinfo and the admin CGIs call Utils.list_names() to get the names of all lists. They then instantiate each list to determine if it meets the conditions for listing. It is possible, particularly in installations with a large number of lists, that a list can be deleted after its name is retrieved and before it is instantiated. Instantiation then throws MMUnknownListError. This should be caught in a try: and the list ignored.
