This means that the database is corrupted (there is a token that has  
been seen in more spam than you have trained).  The best thing to do  
is to retrain from scratch.

This shouldn't occur - you should check that procmail is accessing  
spambayes correctly; I don't really know much about that, but there  
are examples in the distribution and on the website, that you could  
look at.
