[Spambayes] 1.0.1 binary + Outlook 2003 SP1 run error

[Tony Meyer]

Apologies for the delay.  (I've been trying to think of something to
suggest, which isn't easy with this one).

That is the correct log.  You can modify verbosity in the {profile name}.ini
file, but there isn't any point: a log is never being created by SpamBayes
(if it was, then it would have moved the registration one aside, and there
would at least being the "loading database" message).  If you don't get that
far, then higher verbosity won't give anything either.

If you choose not to disable SpamBayes after Outlook says it caused a
problem, does it just say it caused a problem again?  Are there any more
specifics in any of the error messages?  (From memory, the "caused a
problem" one has just about no details at all, which is really no help).
