I suggest you use something other than dumbdbm as the underlying database
file. This problem has surfaced a couple times. Dumbdbm is a "database of
last resort". Precisely because of this it gets very little exercise and is
probably buggy. You should install PyBSDDB and a version of Sleepycat's
Berkeley DB library to wedge under it. Simply upgrading to Python
2.2.3 is not sufficient. You can get PyBSDDB here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=13900
Once you install it, Spambayes will start using it.
Am I the only person who thinks letting Spambayes use dumbdbm is a bad idea?
