The problem lies with moi.  The ham/spam database had grown rather huge.  I
tossed out a bunch of older ham and spam messages from the database and
retrained.  That caused a large fraction of new posts to be held as
"unsure".  Unfortunately, I didn't notice that for a couple days.  I added a
couple hundred of the recently held hams and spams to the database and
retrained last night.  This morning nothing new was held.  Hopefully that
will solve the problem.
