Well, now I wish I knew what words I looked at to change my mind about
this problem.  

There really is something very fishy going on.  I actually added
instrumentation code to watch my training script train particular
words multiple times as ham or spam, but when I query those words
using the sb_imapfilter web interface, they always are shown as having
been trained 0 or 1 times, with one of two corresponding
probabilities.

I do a wildcard query with a single letter and returning 1000 results,
and there's not a single number over 1 in the #spam or #ham columns.

What could be going on?

TIA,
