[Spambayes] Failure for two users

[G. Armour Van Horn]

After getting pop3proxy.py running on one machine successfully, I put it

on another system. My installation was limited to copying the contents
of the SpamBayes 1.0a4 zip over there and double clicking on
pop3proxy.py.

I had problems with the Review page for a few tries, it would mark
messages as Spam, but nothing showed up to review until I shut the proxy

down and restarted. After the first day, however, it has been stable. I
was bragging on this to my friends on Noise Level Zero (the successor to

the old BIX, if anyone remembers what that was), and another user
grabbed the files and got the same results.

Until this morning. Now the system won't run at all, his results are
below. I note in the traceback a references to Unpickler and dumb.dbm, I

thought both pickles and dumb.dbm were deprecated?
