That indicates a corrupt database.  Do you ever kill sb_imapfilter.py
without giving it a chance to clean up properly or run two SpamBayes
applications which might both want to write to the same database (say,
sb_server.py or sb_filter.py as well as sb_imapfilter.py)?  If so, you'll
need to figure out a way to avoid that.

To work around the problem, I suggest you zap your training database and
start from scratch.  If you don't solve the underlying problem you'll
probably encounter it again.
