Summary: SpamBayes 1.0.3 bug fills HD with log files

Initial Comment:
I recently updated from 1.0.1 to 1.0.3, using the POP3
proxy with The Bat! mail manager in Windows 2K SP4, and
from time to time the proxy fails and begins to add to
the log file the line "warning: unhandled exception"
(the first time it ocurred I was away from the computer
and it generated a 600 MB log file until the system
partition was full). A log for this situation would
look like:

Service not available. Using thread.
Loading database... Listener on port 110 is proxying
mail.xxxxx.xxx:110
Listener on port 111 is proxying mail.yyyyy.yyy:110
User interface url is http://localhost:8880/

I have been using SpamBayes since version 0.9 and I
never found this problem until I updated to version
1.0.3. I'll try to revert to version 1.0.1 until this
bug is solved, since some programs aren't happy when
you haven't any space left in your system partition.

This is a problem with using Python 2.4 and SpamBayes. 
1.0.3 was built with Python 2.4 so exhibits this problem. 
It will occur if you try to connect to your mail server and
it is not available (and the DNS lookup still succeeds).  If
you can't avoid such situations, then, yes, revert to 1.0.1,
or use the 1.0.3 source with Python 2.2/2.3, or use CVS Head
with Python 2.2/2.3/2.4.

1.1 will include a fix for this problem.
