I have a few questions.  First, what kind of database are you using with
SpamBayes (setting of persistent_use_database config parameter)?  Second,
are you accessing the database from multiple applications simultaneously?
Third, can you run sb_server.py under control of a debugger and let me know
where it's executing when it crashes?  If you need help with that last
request, contact me offline.
