Clearly we have a problem in training.

This is a bug in dumbdbm.  You should have the proper version of bsddb 
installed, and the system will then automatically select that version rather 
than dumbdbm.  Installing that will require migrating your training database, 
which can be accomplished with dbExpImp.py.  Also, if you do, you'll need to 
delete spambayes.msginfo.db, which may make the filter reclassify some 
messages, but shouldn't really hurt anything.  The other alternative is to 
live with the exception, which doesn't really hurt anything.
